Foresters Financial Policy Features

Policy Features - 4.3 / 5

Foresters Financial's final expense insurance, or as they call it, "PlanRight Life Insurance," is a whole life policy. In order to qualify for it, the applicant must answer questions regarding their health and the consumer must also meet certain requirements. The product could be fixed, graded, or modified. The fixed death benefit gives the consumer 100% of the face value from the beginning. Graded and modified death benefit means you won't get 100% until the first two years pass. The consumer can also get extra coverage by adding the optional accidental death rider to the policy.
