Life Insurance
A wide variety of life insurance products are available in today’s marketplace. However, they basically fall into two categories, either temporary coverage or permanent coverage. Let’s take a look at how they differ.
Term
We understand that everyone’s situation is different; maybe you need insurance coverage while you are paying off a 30-year mortgage or for just a few years to ensure the college years are a reality if something should happen to you. Sons of Norway offers a guaranteed level term insurance policy in durations of 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. You can decide what works best for your situation and add riders to customize your coverage.
Should your situation change and you need to keep the coverage after the term expires, you can convert your policy to a permanent type of coverage or extend the time annually by simply continuing the premium payments that will be recalculated for you.

| Immediate | Deferred | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| With an immediate annuity you can begin payments as little as 30 days after purchase. This type of Annuity is ideal for people who are about to retire and want a predictable income stream. |
A Deferred Annuity promises to pay the owner a guaranteed interest rate and can provide the owner with an income stream, or a lump sum, after the duration of the contract. Sons of Norway of Norway offers 5- and 8-year durations. |
Bonus Annuities can be a powerful tool in your retirement plan. A bonus annuity can help you boost your retirement plan and give you options, all with zero fees. The amount of the bonus is determined by the deposit amount at time of purchase. |
