What is Paid Up Life Insurance?

Quite simply paid up life insurance is whole or universal life insurance where the policy has been paid up.  This means that you no longer have to make any premium payments on the policy and will still receive the death benefit.   For most people this means that they have been making premium payments on their life insurance for many years and there are now sufficient funds in the cash value of the account to continue to make payments until you are 100 years old.

Is There Anything Special about Paid Up Life Insurance?

In short, no.  It just means you have your policy paid up.  There are some special policies that use paid up life insurance as a benefit.  For instance, some policies will pay a dividend out over time.  Instead of paying that dividend out they will purchase paid up life insurance for you (usually in five thousand to ten thousand dollar policies).  This way eventually you will not need the larger policy and can rest easy with all the small paid up life insurance polices.

Are There Any Other Types?

Yes there are other types of paid up life insurance.  You can actually pay for your entire term life insurance policy at one time.  As you can imagine, this is very expensive because you would be paying all the premiums for the life of the policy all at once.  Even at $500 per year this would be a lot if you got a thirty year or twenty year term policy.
