Life insurance is an excellent way to create financial security for you and your family. Let us find you the life insurance coverage you need at an affordable rate.
Setting up the right financial plan can mean the difference between leaving your family in a comfortable financial position and leaving them with a mountain of debt and an insufficient income.
Life insurance can be used to:
- Pay any remaining debts and final expenses
- Provide an income for your family
- Make sure your family can maintain a comfortable level of living
- Accumulate tax-advantaged savings that you can use when needed for personal or professional reasons
- Accompany your retirement income or assist with long-term care or home care if needed
While it does vary from policy to policy, life insurance will provide a lump sum to your beneficiaries in the event of your death, either from natural causes and the majority of diseases. It is meant to provide your family and loved ones with a financial safety net, so that they can maintain their standard of life after you are gone.
Which Life Insurance is Best For You?
Life insurance is offered in two main types: term and permanent. The coverage under each of these types differs significantly.
- Term life insurance covers you for a specific period of time – usually the time during which your family would need the death benefit the most (such as getting a mortgage, buying a business, having a baby). It typically offers basic coverage at affordable premiums. Term life insurance is the least expensive life insurance option, and is the most frequently purchased.
- Permanent life insurance covers you for your whole life. Many Permanent Life Insurance policies build up a cash value, either by setting aside some of your premiums as savings for you or by paying dividends.
