Life Insurance

Life insurance is designed to help provide financial security for your loved ones in the event of your untimely death. Here’s a breakdown of who should consider getting life insurance.

• Parents and guardians—If you have children or dependents, life insurance can help ensure they are financially secure if something happens to you. The death benefit can allow your loved ones to maintain their standard of living.

• Homeowners—Owning a home often involves significant financial obligations, like a mortgage. Life insurance can provide the funds needed to pay off this debt, ensuring that your family can stay in their home.

• Business owners—For entrepreneurs, life insurance can protect your business partners and ensure the continuity of your company in the event of your death. Policies can help cover outstanding business debts, preventing financial fallout for your family or partners.

• Caregivers—If you are a caregiver for someone with special needs or an elderly relative, life insurance can provide financial support for their ongoing care in your absence.

How Much Does Life Insurance Cost?

The cost of life insurance can vary widely based on several factors, including age, health, lifestyle and the type of policy you choose.

Age and Health

Younger and healthier individuals can typically secure lower premiums. Insurers evaluate your health history, lifestyle choices (like smoking) and family medical history when determining your rates.

Policy Type

There are two primary types of life insurance, including the following:

• Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (typically 10, 20 or 30 years) and tends to be more affordable. If the insured person outlives the policy’s term, it cancels automatically. Some term policies provide the option to convert to a permanent policy.

• Permanent life insurance includes many life insurance types, including whole life and universal life, which are designed to provide lifelong coverage and often build cash value. These policies can be significantly more expensive.

Coverage Amount

Naturally, the more coverage you seek, the higher your premium will be. It’s essential to assess your needs carefully—considering factors like income, debts and future financial obligations—to determine an appropriate coverage amount.
