While you can’t put a price on your loved ones, you can take steps to secure their future.
While the cost of life insurance is a common concern, it’s often more affordable than you think, especially compared to the financial security it provides your loved ones. Your top priority is your family’s well-being: Who will support them if you’re gone? How will debts be managed or college funded?
With a carefully designed life insurance policy, you can focus on making the most of your time with family, knowing their future is secure—covering debts, funeral expenses, and providing a lasting legacy.
Experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family will be cared for, no matter what.
Protect Your Legacy
What types of Life Insurance are there?
Recognizing everyone’s situation is unique, which means there are two types of life insurance policies to choose from:
- Term life policies are set up to cover you for a specific period of time. The most common term policies cover for fifteen to twenty years. Depending on the age of insured, premiums start out dirt cheap and increase in costs with your age. Some Term life policies even offer the option to convert to a whole life policy when the policy is set to expire.
- Whole life or Universal life insurance covers the insured for the course of their life, even if you live to be 100 years old! An advantage of a universal life policy is that the policy builds cash value that you may borrow against in times of need.
What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance is temporary; it provides a death benefit for a specific term, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. Unlike other types of life insurance, it does not accumulate a cash value. If the policyholder dies during that term, their beneficiaries receive the benefit from the policy. When the contract ends, so does the coverage.
This limited term leads to term life insurance’s main advantage: price. Generally, term life insurance costs less than permanent life insurance, especially if the purchaser is younger. This has the potential to free up funds for other household expenses.
What is Whole Life Insurance?
Whole, or Permanent, insurance remains in place as long as the policyholder makes payments. In addition, permanent policies are designed to build up “cash value,” a cash reserve that accumulates with the policy. Typically, this cash reserve pays a modest rate of return. However, the policyholder has limited access to the funds.
Term life insurance can be designed to provide protection against upcoming expenses, such as putting children through college. Permanent life insurance, on the other hand, can be more useful for covering long-term financial needs, such as estate planning.
Worried About Costs?
Don’t be. No matter the situation, it is important to know what type of policy best suits your needs, the amount of coverage desired, and most importantly, who the beneficiary will be.
