LIFE INSURANCE

If anyone is financially dependent on your income, you need a life insurance policy.

What is Life Insurance?

Life insurance is a contract with an insurance company that provides protection throughout the lifetime of the contract in exchange for monthly or annual payments. If you pass away while your policy is active, your chosen beneficiary will receive a sum of cash, known as a death benefit. This money can be used to pay final expenses, cover the rest of your mortgage, or handle any other expenses for your loved ones. In most cases, the death benefit is tax-free

Why Life Insurance Matters?

Life insurance is not just for your loved ones after you’re gone; with a living benefits component, it also provides your family with financial protection to cover household expenses if you become unable to support them due to an illness.

Would your family be able to continue covering your debts, like your mortgage, without your income? A life insurance policy, tailored to your needs, can offer cash benefits while you’re still alive, ensuring your family doesn’t face financial hardship during an already challenging time. We consider life insurance an act of love for those you care about, protecting the ones you love most.

There are two major types of life insurance: Term and Permanent

What is Whole Life?

Whole Life is also known as permanent insurance. Permanent life insurance offers guaranteed coverage and is sometimes broken down into a policy called universal or whole life. Permanent life insurance offers guaranteed coverage for the lifetime of the policy.

Permanent life insurance is the term for different types of life insurance with lifetime coverage. You can choose the policy that is right for you and your family – it will not expire. Choosing a permanent life insurance policy means choosing an insurance policy that lasts until you die.  

Whole life (permanent insurance) insurance is a slightly more expensive type of life insurance that provides fixed premiums throughout the life of the policy. 

What is Term Life?

Term life insurance is the least expensive option and it provides coverage for a specific period, usually ranging from 10-30 years. It can be viewed as”renting” your insurance.  If the insured dies during the time period specified in a term policy and the policy is active, a death benefit will be paid.   

If you reach the end of your coverage period (10, 20, 30, 40 ) you and the insurance company simply part ways. If you still need life insurance, you can extend coverage for a new term or convert your policy to permanent life insurance (just keep in mind your premiums increase). 

Term insurance can also offer living benefits for chronic medical condtions and or a return of your premiums. Want to learn more? Let’s talk!

 

Your Group Coverage Falls Short: What You Need to Know

Many employers provide group life insurance for their employees. But if you have this coverage, do you really need an individual policy as well?

While group insurance can offer some financial protection for your family, it’s often just a small piece of the puzzle. Typically, group policies cover only one to two years of your salary, are controlled by your employer, and only remain in effect while you’re employed. If you leave your job or are laid off, your employer-sponsored coverage usually ends, leaving you without protection. Have questions about securing a policy you own? Let’s Talk!

What Is Final Expense Insurance?

Final expense insurance is a type of permanent life insurance policy that provides a lump sum to your chosen beneficiary for any final expenses such as your medical bills, and funeral service which generally cost around $10,000 so they don’t have to face a financial burden during a difficult time. 

Final expense life insurance is different from most kinds of life insurance, which people usually buy to replace their income and cover their family’s long-term financial needs in case they die.  Final expense insurance is designed to help older adults plan ahead for funeral costs or other end-of-life expenses.

 

Guranteed Issue Life Insurance

People who are terminally ill, on dialysis, in need of an organ transplant, on hospice, or suffering from chronic illnesses like AIDS, HIV, Alzheimer’s, or dementia often face challenges in finding the right insurance coverage. While many insurers see these conditions as high-risk, there are still some companies that may offer solutions.

Guaranteed issue life insurance is designed to help those with serious health issues secure the coverage they need. These plans can prevent consumers from being denied due to their medical history. If you or someone you know is dealing with a serious illness, life insurance without medical questions could be crucial in providing financial protection for loved ones.

For seniors, guaranteed issue life insurance can be especially beneficial as new health conditions may develop with age. This type of plan offers a pathway to coverage, even after a new diagnosis. Need More information? Let’s Talk!
