As your life changes (marriage, birth of a child, new job, retirement or medical emergency), so does your life insurance needs. A TransElite® Universal Life Insurance policy through Transamerica Life Insurance Company has the flexibility to adjust to your changing needs. With just one policy, select the right coverage level for your own individual or family needs.
*Loans, withdrawals, and death benefit accelerations will reduce the policy value and the death benefit and may increase lapse risk. Policy loans are tax-free provided the policy remains in force. If the policy is surrendered or lapses, the amount of the policy loan will be considered a distribution from the policy and will be taxable to the extent that such loan plus other distributions at that time exceed the policy basis.

Who needs life insurance?
Everyone needs life insurance.
Contrary to popular belief, life insurance isn't just for parents. You need life insurance if anyone is financially dependent on you.
You've recently graduated from college.
You may have significant student loan obligations. If something were to happen to you, your loved ones would most likely be forced to shoulder that debt.
You're the parent of two small children.
You want to make sure they'll be able to keep the same lifestyle and attend college — even if you're not there to see it happen.
Your children are on their own.
But your children rely on you for support and help around the house. If you weren't there for them, your children would need extra money to pay someone to take care of things you've been managing for them.
Your spouse is depending on your income for retirement.
But you're not sure your retirement savings is enough to keep up with a rising cost of living if your paycheck stopped. Life insurance can be a smart way to fill the gap.
Like many families, you rely on two incomes to make ends meet.
You'll need life insurance on both you and your spouse. Even if your spouse stays at home, you should consider life insurance on your spouse to cover the cost of hiring someone to take care of the things your spouse generally handles.
Why you need life insurance?
Consider what kind of financial condition your family would be in if, suddenly, you were not there to provide for them. Where would the money come from to pay for your funeral, the monthly bills, the mortgage, and education costs? Maybe it's a good time to think about the value of life insurance.
