Common Questions About
Whole Life Insurance

? How does whole life work?

Whole life insurance provides coverage for your entire life as long as premiums are paid. It combines a death benefit with a cash value component that grows over time. Premiums remain level throughout the policyholder's lifetime, and part of each premium payment goes towards building the cash value, which grows at a guaranteed rate and may also earn dividends depending on the insurer’s performance.

? What is a cash value?

Cash value is a savings component of a whole life insurance policy that grows over time. It is funded by part of your premium payments and accumulates on a tax-deferred basis. The cash value can be borrowed against or used to pay premiums, and it can also be used to increase the policy’s death benefit or purchase additional insurance.

? What happens to the cash value when I pass away?

Upon your death, the cash value of the policy is typically not paid out separately; instead, the death benefit paid to your beneficiaries includes the cash value. The total death benefit will be the face amount of the policy plus any accumulated cash value, minus any outstanding loans or withdrawals.

? Who can I designate as a beneficiary?

You can designate anyone as a beneficiary, including family members, friends, charities, or organizations. It’s important to ensure that your beneficiary designation aligns with your wishes and update it as needed to reflect changes in your life.

? What happens if I cancel my policy?

If you cancel your whole life insurance policy, you may receive the accumulated cash value minus any outstanding loans or fees. If you cancel in the early years of the policy, the cash value may be relatively low. Additionally, you will lose your death benefit coverage.

? How does the cash value accumulate?

The cash value accumulates based on your premium payments and the guaranteed interest rate provided by the insurance company. Additionally, some policies may pay dividends based on the company’s financial performance, which can enhance the growth of your cash value. The accumulation is tax-deferred, meaning you won't pay taxes on the growth until you withdraw or borrow from it.

Wondering if whole life insurance is right for you?

Whether you’re just starting out on your own or thinking about protecting your family, we’ll help you find a balance between financial protection and financial growth.

Adam Rios

Head of Hispanic Market

I come from an immigrant family in Mexico. They came to provide a better life for our family. My grandparents worked hard to provide a better life for my parents, who used that foundation to provide a better life for me. I want to continue this legacy, not only for my family but for yours as well, enabling future generations to thrive. Recognizing the importance of financial education, I pursued a degree in accounting. Witnessing the lack of financial literacy in my community, I felt compelled to address this issue, leading me to join B.B. Financial Group. The firm’s commitment to client education attracted me. Our personalized strategies offer invaluable assurance to families. Our vision is to educate our community about the significance of life insurance and retirement planning in achieving our shared goals.

Onboarding Manager

Being the youngest of three and having lost both parents, it was only a matter of time before transitioning to the financial services industry. Spending the last six years chasing the so-called “American Dream,” I worked the traditional corporate route. After reviewing my brother’s plan to disrupt the insurance space and considering his years of experience in the industry, I decided to join my brother’s agency with the mindset that family is everything. Moving forward, my role at the firm is to provide excellent service and support to both agents and clients. I look forward to working with you all.

Owner / Managing Broker

Growing up in a cultural household in the Midwest and being raised by conservative parents, the insurance industry was not something I had intended to be a part of. However, at some point in our lives, I believe we all reach a crossroad that alters our anticipated trajectory. For me, that change and introduction occurred back in 2015 when I embarked on a promising career in the financial services industry at a Fortune 100 firm. However, while working for a captive agency, I quickly learned about the limitations of growth for both agents and clients. Building a practice while also caring for sick parents, I truly embraced the importance of both financial literacy and the significance of protecting our loved ones. Yet, I found myself at another crossroad, which marked the inception of B.B. Financial Group. The idea was to mold professionals to better serve our clients so that we could reintroduce transparency to our industry. I aimed to continue providing service for current and future clients while building an agency that embodies the belief that we are striving to “be better.”
