What is Life Insurance?

And why you need it

There 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 Insurance
Life Insurance Type Duration Other benefits Premiums
Term Set number of years Paying for death benefit that goes to beneficiaries in the event of your death. Usually $30-40/ month for a 30-year $500,000 policy, age dependent.
Whole Does not expire Death benefit + cash value that grows over time Can cost more than term life policy

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.

Great rates, super simple. At first, I was concerned the rate I was given was inaccurate. I couldn’t believe it- the final rate was as quoted. The customer service was great and their follow up is amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for insurance.
