Life
Providing for Your Family
Risk Factor

Raising a child can be a rewarding life experience, but it is also very expensive. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise a child to age 18, with college tuition, fees, room, and board resulting in another potentially enormous expense. If you were to die tomorrow, would funds be available to provide for food, clothing, day care, and educational expenses for your child?

Solution

Having life insurance could secure the future for your children if you have an untimely death. With a life insurance policy, there could be enough income to help pay for everything your child might need while growing up.

Mortgage Payments
Risk Factor

After your death, any outstanding debt and financial obligations do not disappear. Your home is probably the costliest and most significant property you own. A mortgage payment is a large burden for a spouse or partner to carry.

Solution

A life insurance policy would allow your spouse or children to pay off your outstanding debts and spare them the stress of making monthly payments on the home.

Auto Payments
Risk Factor

Many families lease or finance their automobiles these days. If the primary earner in the family were to die, the family could be left with outstanding car payments for years to come.

Solution

A life insurance policy would allow your spouse or children to pay off your outstanding debts and spare them the stress of making monthly payments on your car(s).

Funeral Costs
Risk Factor

An average funeral can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and that's without unnecessary options or luxurious services. A death in the family is stressful enough; why add the hefty bill of a funeral to that stress?

Solution

A life insurance policy can easily cover the cost of a funeral. Your family will be able to think of you and have peace of mind without being burdened by funeral costs.

Protecting Your Retirement Savings
Risk Factor

Once you retire, you will be living off social security, and if you are lucky to have them, a pension or retirement fund, too. But what if the surviving spouse has been relying on you to fund retirement for the couple? Premature death of an earner can affect sources of retirement benefits such as Social Security.

Solution

Life insurance can help support a surviving spouse during their retirement.

Protecting Your Small Business
Risk Factor

If you passed away, would your business suffer? There are many complications and financial issues that can arise due to the death of a business owner. Many people overlook this predicament.

Solution

A life insurance policy can keep a business moving along even during tough times, such as the loss of the business owner/partner. Key person life insurance is payable to the company and provides money for training and hiring of a new employee. A buy-sell agreement, funded by life insurance, allows the other partners in the business to buy the deceased’s share of the business, which will provide money for his or her family.

Spousal Support / Income Replacement
Risk Factor

Many people mistakenly think that they don’t need life insurance if they don’t have children or if their children are grown. However, your financial responsibilities fall to your family when you are gone.

Solution

Life insurance can replace the income you would usually bring in and help support your spouse or adult children, ensuring your loved ones are able to maintain the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

How to choose between term, whole, and universal life insurance.

First, you’ll need to determine the type of life insurance you want to buy, with the most common types being term life insurance, whole life insurance, and universal life insurance. Each has its own way of paying out, and the plan you choose may be determined by your individual needs.

   What is term life insurance?

With term life insurance, you pay regular premiums for a set period and the policy only pays out if you pass away during this period. You may want to consider a term life policy if you need a large amount of coverage but have a small budget, or if you need to have life insurance for a specific time period. It’s important to know that premiums typically increase the older you get and that certain policies may require a medical examination.

  What is whole life insurance?

With whole life insurance, there’s no set period. You usually pay regular premiums until you pass away, at which point the policy pays out. Sometimes you have the option to take a lump sum back while you are still alive, but this will reduce the amount paid out when you pass away. This is the most commonly held type of life insurance, as it provides both a savings account as well as a death benefit.

  What is universal life insurance?

Universal life insurance works in a similar way to whole life insurance, but you have more flexibility about taking money early. You may even borrow money and repay it later; although, if there’s any loan outstanding when you die, the policy’s payout can be significantly affected.

What you need to consider before getting life insurance.

The premiums you pay depend heavily on your age and medical history, along with the amount you want the policy to payout. Some policies may also require a medical examination to qualify. Your situation is unique, and the life insurance policy you choose should fit your specific needs.

Life Insurance:

Life Insurance, quite simply, is an insurance policy that pays a beneficiary or beneficiaries of your choosing in the unfortunate event of your death. Unlike most insurance policies, you may never see the benefits of the policy but the people you care about and rely on you surely will.
