Life Insurance Is for Those Left Behind

Life insurance is all about helping those you leave behind. Like other insurance, life insurance doesn’t protect you from risk. We all die sometime, and no matter the circumstances, grief follows. Don’t compound grief by saddling your family with financial worries. Get a free life insurance quote today and find out how much it will cost to leave your family a financial legacy.

Life Insurance—Your Final Gift to Loved Ones

Simply stated, when you get a life insurance policy quote and buy a policy, you pay now to provide money to others upon your death (your “beneficiaries”). Why? Lots of good reasons:

  • To pay expenses associated with your death e.g., funeral expenses, estate taxes
  • To replace your income so your family can pay bills, continue mortgage payments, or fund college in your absence
  • To leave a nest egg for your loved ones
  • For investment or tax-planning purposes

Some examples:

  • According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the cost of a funeral is rising each year and now exceeds $8,000. The last thing your family needs is to be burdened with a huge expense along with all the other financial and emotional impacts of your death. A life insurance payout will greatly ease the financial strain.
  • According to the United States Census, the Verona home ownership rate hovers around 69%. You, like many in Verona, may make monthly mortgage payments. What happens when you die? If your survivors cannot continue payments, they will need to sell the home to pay off the mortgage. Moving will significantly burden them at one of the worst times of their lives. But it doesn’t need to be this way. You can buy life insurance. When you die, the payout can be used to cover the mortgage debt. 

How Does Life Insurance Work?

There are different kinds of life insurance. Although an overview follows, you should connect with us. We can provide you with a term life insurance quote or a whole life insurance quote. We will thoroughly explain the different kinds of policies and guide you to the best option given your particular needs.

  • Term life insurance covers you for a certain term, anywhere from 1-30 years. You pay a set premium for a set number of years. If you die within that period, the insurance company pays the set amount to your beneficiary. If you are alive at the end of the term, the insurance expires (no payout), although some policies may give you the option of extending the term or converting to a permanent policy.
  • Permanent insurance comes in different forms, but all are designed to be with you for your whole life. Part of your premium is set aside and invested. The investment is known as “cash value.” The kind of investment and the expected growth of the cash value portion depends on the kind of permanent insurance policy you purchase.
    • With a whole life policy, the cash value grows at a fixed rate.
    • With a universal life policy, the growth of the cash value fluctuates with the market.
