Life Insurance Options

Whether you're married with kids, or have a partner or other relatives who depend on you financially, having life insurance can be important. Life insurance provides money, or what's known as a death benefit, to your chosen beneficiary after you die. It can help give your loved ones access to money when they need it. 

Life insurance is meant to help protect your family's financial future. Even if you have savings, it's unlikely that it would be enough to cover your family's expenses for several years or even decades if something happens to you unexpectedly.  

 Certain types of debt don't go away when you die, which means your loved ones may have to use money from your estate or sell off other assets to cover them. This could leave less money to pay for expenses.

If you have children, life insurance can help your family pay for future childcare and education expenses, especially for college. Even if you've already started contributing to a 529 college savings plan, the death benefit from a life insurance policy can provide additional money to help cover your children's education if you were to die. 

Life insurance can help your loved ones pay for any debt you leave behind, including credit card debt, business debt, personal and/or educational loans and mortgage debt. At a time when your loved ones are already dealing with your loss, life insurance can help ease some of the financial burdens they may experience after your passing.

Understanding life insurance and how much coverage you may need can help when making long-term financial plans. Making plans to help support your family's financial stability in the event that you pass could help to mitigate the stress and burden of an already difficult time. Depending on your financial goals and needs, life insurance could be an important part of this plan. For more information, click on the button to the right.
