INDIVIDUAL TERM INSURANCE
This is pure life insurance protection. Individual Term Insurance premiums
are payable for a specified term of years. If death of the insured occurs
during that period of time, the death benefit is paid. The premiums
may increase each year, or remain level for a certain time period (for
example, 5 to 30 years). Individual Term Insurance policies are usually
convertible into more permanent forms of life insurance, and are best
suited for individuals who need life insurance protection for a specified
period of time (such as a term of years associated with mortgage payments).

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE
A more permanent form of life insurance protection, Universal Life Insurance
is usually designed to last until the insured is age 100, or longer.
It's designed to have cash values, which are available to the policy
owner during the insured's lifetime through policy loans or partial
withdrawals. These help to keep premiums level for the duration of the
policy. As the policy values increase, the policy owner may have the
ability to reduce, or even suspend, premium payments and still retain
the protection from the policy death benefit. Universal Life Insurance
is appropriate for individuals who have a need for insurance protection
for the rest of their life, such as payment of estate taxes, income
for surviving family members, etc.

VARIABLE LIFE
This is typically very similar to a Universal Life policy. However, with Variable
Life, the policy values are usually driven by one or a group of investment
options selected by the policy owner. These investment options can be used
to match the investment risk preferences of the policy owner which can range
from conservative (low risk) to speculative (high risk). The performance of
the cash value (which can determine the amount and frequency of future premiums)
is dependent upon the performance of these investments. Variable Life is designed
for those individuals who are willing to accept more of the financial risk
associated with investments and combine it with the benefits of life insurance
protection. Variable Life products are both securities and insurance. They
are offered by First National Investments & Planning. For more complete
information about a specific Variable Life product, ask your Financial Consultant
for a prospectus. Please read the prospectus before you invest or send money.

SURVIVORSHIP LIFE (2nd to die)
Survivorship Life was designed to provide life insurance death benefits
in estate planning. In such a case, most estate settlement costs occur
upon the death of the surviving spouse. Since it's difficult to predict
which spouse will be the survivor, Survivorship Life was created to
insure 2 lives, but the death benefit is paid only at the second death.
A true benefit of this product - Survivorship Life premiums are generally
lower than if separate policies were purchased for each individual.

INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE
With Individual Disability Income Insurance, the small premiums
you pay while you're well are a fraction compared to the benefits
the policy provides if you ever become disabled. With Individual
Disability Income Insurance, you can realize a steady source of income
that you can depend on when you need it most.

LONG-TERM CARE
Long-Term Care provides invaluable security for many people. It can be a single premium product that gives you a fixed amount of Long-Term Care benefits that can never decrease, while the unused portion of benefits go to your estate tax-free. Or it can be a product that offers benefits that are paid for by annual premiums designed to fit your current budget. In either case, the benefits will be paid when the need for the extra care is present.
