Hello there Amy!
Certainly, there are many types of whole life insurance policy in New Mexico, but there might be gray area as to which one is the cheapest whole life because of the varied features.Most common among the varied types of whole life policies are traditional, limited payment, interest sensitive, and single premium life insurance. Other variations of this type include more complex features such as joint life and family plans.
With traditional policy, you are given a guaranteed minimum rate of return on your cash value portion in the form of dividends. Normally, the life policy premiums must be paid until the insured reaches age hundred and then the cash value will equal the death benefit.
In limited pay whole life policies, the premium paying period is compressed and you pay larger premiums for the same amount of whole life insurance in a shorter duration of time. You only pay premiums that cover you for your lifetime within duration of time that you choose. Normally, for limited pay whole life policy, it is normally stipulated that premium payment period must last at least 10 years and premiums must be wrapped up by the age of 65.
There’s another type of whole life insurance policy called interest sensitive which are level premium that don’t pay dividends, but the cash value grows. There is more flexibility with this policy.
Another choice is a single premium whole life insurance which lets you pay the whole policy amount up front. Since premium is paid one time, this is normal for someone with very good financial status. This type also offers cash value.Other types include universal and variable whole life policies.
You see, for anyone looking for money’s worth, it’s not really which one is cheapest whole life insurance policy to look for since each type has different features and terms of payments. What’s a more apt consideration to take are the respective benefits of each and your lifestyle and future requirements.

Reader’s Question:
An insurance company in New Mexico offered a very cheap life insurance quote to me. However, I find their quote too cheap to believe, which makes me doubt their credibility and stability for their rate. Is there any agency I can verify information on life insurance companies and see their ratings in NM?

Very interesting question Victor.
It’s good that you are wise enough not to run out quickly and buy such cheap quotes in New Mexico. Being a cheap life insurance policy does not really meant to be the best option you can get.
Foremost, be certain to review the company that presented to you very cheap life insurance quote. Always bear in mind that the quality of the policy and finding the lowest prices are not the only considerations.
You need to know and understand the financial rating of this company. A few authoritative and non-biased rating services you can use are A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s, and Insurance Information Institute.

New Mexico Life Insurance
Reader’s Question:
Are there any grounds under which one can question a life insurance beneficiary? If so, please explain. I live in New Mexico.

Disputes of a New Mexico life insurance policy are very rare. But if there are any, it usually involves cases wherein the insured man remarries and the present wife is prejudiced as the ex-wife remains to be the beneficiary of his life insurance.
Another example is when a person with 5 children holds a life insurance policy and suddenly dies. In his policy, only 4 kids are declared to be his beneficiary since the youngest child was not included yet at the time of the purchase.
In both examples, it is a necessary measure to notify the life insurance company right away of the circumstance and expect hat there might commence a long and tedious legal dispute. Once a dispute is submitted, the insurance company will convey the life policy benefit to a trust supported by a state court. It is the court that will decide the legitimacy of the petition.
But then again, I believe it is solely up to the policy holder to alter the beneficiary or describe his beneficiary. Legal issues would come into place if he/she passes away without having the chance to cure any faults regarding beneficiary.
