What is Life Insurance?
And why you need itThere are many different options when buying life insurance. It can seem complicated, but essentially there are two kinds of policies: term life insurance and whole life insurance. There are more insurance plans that fall into these two categories. Each of them has their own drawbacks and benefits. One of our agents can walk your through your best option.
Life Insurance Basics
Types of Life InsuranceLife Insurance Type | Duration | Other benefits | Premiums |

Who needs Life Insurance?
The general rule is you only need life insurance if you have dependents. Dependents are children who still live at home, a spouse, sibling, or aging parents. A dependent could be anyone who is financially dependent on you.
What type of Life Insurance should I get?
Term life insurance policies are typically the best for those who need life insurance. They are usually the most affordable and simple to understand. However, other life insurance policy types can be just what you need. Ultimately, you should speak with an agent to determine the best company and policy for you.
