2 Pacific Legacy Survivorship VUL is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance (Form series #P22SVL, S22PLS, varies based on state of policy issue). Variable 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.

Paying only the Age 90 No-Lapse Premiums will guarantee the death benefit to the younger insured’s attained age 90, but will not guarantee cash value accumulation.

If policy loans or withdrawals are taken, additional premiums may be required to keep the no-lapse feature in force. Additional premiums may be required to continue the policy beyond the guaranteed duration.
