How it Works

The Survivorship Universal Life policy can assist in planning for the following needs:

  • Help preserve your estate - Even if you have dipped into your assets during retirement, the policy will leave death benefit proceeds that pass generally income-tax free to your beneficiaries. They could use the policy proceeds to help offset federal estate taxes, keeping your estate intact 2
  • Business transition planning - Life insurance can help provide the funds needed to orderly transfer ownership of a business. For family-owned businesses, it can help make sure those interested in continuing the business can do so, while providing for non-interested heirs
  • Charitable Giving - Maybe you have a special place in your heart for a certain charity. With Survivorship Universal Life, you can truly make a difference
  • Funding a special-needs trust - For those needing extended care, life insurance can provide the funds to pay for expenses when caregivers are no longer living

Additional Benefits:

  • Build tax-deferred cash value - The growth in cash value is federal tax- deferred and it can be accessed for a variety of personal needs 3
  • Flexible premiums* - Raise or lower premiums, depending on your changing needs or financial situation
  • Affordable - Since the policy pays only after two people have passed on, it costs less than two whole life or universal life insurance policies
  • Tax-free death benefit - No matter how large your death benefit, it passes to your beneficiaries generally income tax-free


Customize your Policy

Add even more value to your policy by buying any of these optional riders. A State Farm agent can help you customize a policy to meet your needs.4

Estate Preservation Rider

Provides for additional death benefit during the first four years of the policy to assist with specific tax planning situations.

Level Term Rider

Provides additional coverage on either insured until age 95, subject to a $100,000 minimum amount. This rider is convertible until age 75 to any whole life plan that is available.

Waiver of Monthly Deduction for Death or Disability

Helps preserve your plan at a time when income may be limited due to a disability. Waiver of Monthly Deduction for Death and Disability is an optional rider available to eligible applicant's age 59 or less. This benefit will be on Insured 1 only and not on Insured 2. When Insured 1 becomes totally disabled for 6 continuous months as defined in the policy, prior to age 60, this coverage will waive all future monthly deductions as long as the insured continues to be totally disabled. If Insured 1 becomes disabled between ages 60 up to age 65, this coverage will waive monthly deductions to the later of the third policy anniversary after total disability or the anniversary when Insured 1 is age 65. If Insured 1 dies prior to age 65, or while monthly deductions are being waived for disability, all future monthly deductions will be waived.

This is a general description of coverage. A complete statement of coverage is found only in the policy. For more details on coverage, costs, restrictions; or to apply for coverage, contact a local State Farm agent.


There are limitations and conditions regarding payment of benefits due to misrepresentations on the application or when death is the result of suicide in the first two policy years.


*With Universal Life it is possible that coverage will expire when either no premiums are paid following the initial premium or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage.


1 Survivorship Universal Life is the marketing name for Flexible Premium Joint and Last to Die Survivorship Adjustable Life Insurance.


2 State Farm agents do not provide tax, legal, or investment advice. Please consult your tax, legal, or investment advisor regarding your specific circumstances.


3 No more than four withdrawals can be made in any policy year. Withdrawals and unpaid loans will reduce the death benefit and policy cash value. Loans also accrue interest which further reduces the death benefit and cash value. Loans and withdrawals can have tax consequences.


4 Insurance policies and/or associated riders or features may not be available in all states, and policy terms and conditions vary by state.
