Why life insurance?

Save the Family Home

Your family's home holds immense significance. It's where cherished memories are made. Its typically the biggest expense in a family's budget. This expense can be quite substantial for your family to manage single-handedly.

Life insurance proceeds can serve as a safety net, covering the mortgage in the event of your sudden demise, thereby sparing your family from the need to relocate or downsize. Many individuals opt for term life policies that align with their mortgage duration. The longest term available is usually 30 years, which conveniently corresponds to a 30-year mortgage term.

Furthermore, the payout from a life insurance policy can extend its protective umbrella to help pay any outstanding debts your family might inherit after your passing. This includes jointly-signed obligations like car loans and student loans. Therefore, if you have a mortgage or other financial responsibilities, you need life insurance. This is to prevent such obligations from becoming a burden for your loved ones in the unfortunate event of your absence.

Cover End-of-Life Expenses

The average expense associated with a funeral surpasses $9,000, while medical treatments and residential care can increase the financial burden for your loved ones.

In this context, life insurance emerges as a crucial resource to manage end-of-life expenditures. Particularly, final expense insurance is tailored to cater to these specific needs. Given that these policies offer a smaller death benefit, typically ranging up to $35,000, they generally come at an accessible cost. Moreover, qualifying for such policies is straightforward, with no obligatory medical examination.

Children

Nurturing a child involves substantial financial commitment, spanning necessities like food, attire, education, and even vacations. Without a doubt, parenting constitutes a significant financial dedication. Life insurance proceeds can help financially support those you leave behind so a personal tragedy doesn’t become a financial one. Let me help so you can evaluate your needs and choose a solution. 

Protect Your Business

Establishing a business stands as one of the most potent methods to generate enduring familial wealth. This legacy can transcend generations, ensuring financial stability for years to come.

Having dedicated considerable effort to crafting your own business venture, life insurance emerges as a safeguard to preserve its continuity in the event of an unforeseen demise. The disbursement from such a policy injects vital funds to meet immediate obligations such as payroll, inventory, and pressing financial requirements. Importantly, this avenue proves more cost-effective than resorting to loans from financial institutions.

Term Life

The simplest type of life insurance, and usually the least expensive to start.

• Provides coverage as long as you pay the premium.

• Premiums guaranteed not to change for the first 10 to 30 years of the policy, then increase annually with age.

Whole Life

Whole life insurance is designed to last as long as you do.

• Coverage up to 121 years old as long as all required premiums are paid.

• Premiums never increase, from the day your policy is issued to the day premiums are no longer required.

• Initial premiums are higher than term insurance, with funds accumulating within the policy as cash value.

• Whole life is the most conservative type of permanent life insurance, with guaranteed level premiums, guaranteed cash value accumulation, and a guaranteed death benefit.

Universal Life

Like whole life, universal life insurance offers the potential of life-long coverage, to age 121. But it allows more flexibility in the timing and amount of premiums.

• You choose the amount of premium to pay, within contract limits. That payment goes into a separate account inside the policy, with the cost of the policy deducted from the account each month. Your policy stays in force as long as there’s enough value in the account to cover the deductions.

• You can build more cash value by paying more premium. 

• When times are tough, you can reduce or even pause premium payments as long as there’s enough cash value to cover policy costs.
