And so...?
Well, SPWL stands for Single Premium Whole Life, in addition to it's a way to (inexpensively) pre-pay a life insurance plan. Now, it's non for everyone (no production is), but inward the correct circumstances, it tin hold out most useful.
As inward this case.
I recollect (vaguely) from Insurance 101 that parents buying their grandkids life insurance is a neat reckon (again often, non always) in addition to I've had a few clients produce that. But they were (as far equally I tin recall), of the "pay-as-you-go" variety. In this case, Gramps paid a niggling less than $1,900 in addition to his novel grandbaby is insured for $25,000 for the residual of his life. And, equally FoIB Jeff chiliad points out, who knows, this may plough set to hold out the solely conception the niggling guy volition ever be able to buy.
So, what's the payoff of a Single Pay plan? Well for starters, Junior at that spot volition never convey to pay whatsoever premiums. Plus, it's at his historic menstruum 0, pregnant rates become upwards from here. And, of course, what a loving gift from his Grandfather.
Now the downside is that these plans are yesteryear Definition "Modified Endowment Contracts" (MEC's), which agency that the cash value that volition laid about to accrue won't convey all of the taxation advantages of a "regular" plan. But since that's non a finish here, no impairment or foul.
Oh, why does 1 purchase life insurance on a child?
Well, for a multifariousness of reasons., For one, equally noted above, it guarantees that they'll always convey at to the lowest degree some life insurance protection, no affair what life eventually throws at them.
And, equally co-blogger Bob is fond of noting, it's actually to a greater extent than close buying time; that is, fourth dimension for the parents to mourn without having to worry close losing dollars from missing work.
Pretty powerful incentive, that.
