The primary purpose of life insurance is to provide death benefit protection in the event of the insured’s death.

Pacific Life, its affiliates, distributors, and respective representatives do not provide tax, accounting or legal advice. Any taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor or attorney.

Insurance products and their guarantees, including optional benefits and any crediting rates, are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Look to the strength of the insurance company with regard to such guarantees because these guarantees are not backed by the independent broker/dealers, insurance agencies, or their affiliates from which products are purchased. Neither these entities nor their representatives make any representation or assurance regarding the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

Not all products or optional benefits are available in all states or firms, and features may vary by state and firm. Contact your firm or Pacific Life representative for availability.

Universal Life Insurance generally requires additional premium payments after the initial premium. If either no premiums are paid, or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible that coverage will expire.


¹For federal income tax purposes, life insurance death benefits generally pay income tax-free to beneficiaries pursuant to IRC Sec. 101(a)(1). In certain situations, however, life insurance death benefits may be partially or wholly taxable. Situations include, but are not limited to: the transfer of a life insurance policy for valuable consideration unless the transfer qualifies for an exception under IRC Sec. 101(a)(2)(i.e. the transfer-for-value rule); arrangements that lack an insurable interest based on state law; and an employer-owned policy unless the policy qualifies for an exception under IRC Sec. 101(j).
²The Lifetime No-Lapse Guarantee Rider (form series R17LYFNL, varies based on state of policy issue) is included in the policy at no additional charge. The no-lapse guarantee, depending on how you structure your policy, has a maximum duration of the insured’s lifetime, subject to certain limits. If your net no-lapse guarantee value is zero, the no-lapse feature terminates. If the no-lapse feature terminates, additional premiums would be required to resume the no-lapse guarantee. If policy performance is such that your policy is being maintained solely by the no-lapse guarantee, your policy will not build cash value.
³Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to availability, restrictions, and limitations. Clients should be shown policy quotes with and without riders to help show the rider’s impact on the policy’s values.are subject to availability, restrictions, and limitations.
