Text 3 Insurance is supposed to provide protection against financial risks, and while dying too soon is one major risk we face, another risk more and more people fear is outliving their money. As a result, a growing array of life insurance products make it possible to protect against both of those risks. In many of today’s life insurance products, MacDonald notes, "The death benefit portion really has become a commodity type product, so if someone is really concerned about the financial impact of dying young, then they can get a pretty good deal by buying term insurance on a commodity basis--find the cheapest policy and buy it." But, he says, "The other side of the coin is that insurance companies have developed products that can be very creative, and very competitive to other alternatives, including investments. They can fill a very important role in any overall investment plan." Variable and universal policies offer people choices in how much they want to put into their policies and how they want their funds invested. These funds can then be tapped later on to provide a lump sum for purchasing a retirement home or a stream of retirement income. Life insurance is an attractive investment vehicle, because the" inside buildup," the accumulation of funds inside a policy structure, is not subject to taxes, in contrast to other personal investments. However, MacDonald and others warn against using insurance policies purely as an investment. While there are tax advantages, there are also the costs associated with the insurance coverage, and if you don’t need that coverage these can be expensive ways to invest. Moreover, MacDonald notes that some companies are offering insurance that has a critical illness or long-term care benefit. These policies specify that if someone suffers a heart attack, for example, they will get 25 % of the face amount of the insurance policy immediately rather than at death. Or if they must be confined to a nursing home, they will be able to use up to the face amount of the policy to pay the nursing home costs. Amid the proliferation of insurance products, MacDonald says, "The positive side of it is there are better products--they’re cheaper and more flexible. The downside is that it’s more complicated and easier to make a mistake. In the past, it was plain vanilla; everybody was selling the same product and everybody had to find an agent they liked. Now there has been significant changes in product structure and design, and benefits, and so it is worthwhile to shop around." The purpose of insurance is to ______.

张某是某村村民，在村中有宅基地一处。张某后转为非农业户口，但一直在该村居住。现在张某以非农业户口为由，根据原国家土地管理局《关于确定土地权属问题的若干意见》“农民集体经济组织将原农民集体所有土地上的建筑物出售给全民所有制单位、城市集体所有制单位或城镇非农业人口居民的，其用地属于国家所有”的规定，，申请办理国有土地登记。该村村委会认为该宗地为集体所有土地，由此引发双方土地权属争议。经调查，张某的宅基地在该镇该村范围内，土地改革时期，该宅基地曾办理了《土地房产所有权证》；张某的宅基地也未被国家征用(收)；1988年，该市该区人民政府为张某颁发了《农村宅基地使用权证》，再次对该宅基地的集体土地使用权进行了确认，张某也一直未对领取的《农村宅基地使用权证》提出异议。 问题 该土地权属争议该如何处理
