Plans are flexible. Term life offers coverage for a specific period (like 20 years), while whole life provides lifelong protection. Choose the one that best matches your budget and long-term goals.

General Life Insurance FAQs
What is life insurance and why do I need it?
Life insurance provides a tax-free financial payment to your beneficiaries if you pass away. It is essential for protecting your family’s standard of living, covering mortgages, and ensuring children's education costs are met.
What is the difference between term and whole life?
Term insurance covers you for a set period (like 20 years) and is typically the most affordable. Whole life is permanent, covering you for your entire life while often building cash value you can borrow against.
How much life insurance coverage do I need?
A general rule is 10-15 times your income, but we recommend a personalized approach. Consider your current debts, future education costs for children, and funeral expenses for a more accurate figure.
How much does a typical policy cost?
Premiums depend on your age, health, and coverage amount. For many, a term life policy is extremely affordable—often costing less than a daily cup of coffee while providing significant peace of mind.
Who needs life insurance coverage the most?
Anyone with financial dependents needs coverage. This includes parents with young children, couples with joint mortgages, business partners, and those with aging parents who rely on them for support.
How do life insurance policies actually work?
You pay regular premiums to the insurer. In exchange, the insurer promises to pay your beneficiaries a designated sum upon your death. This contract stays in force as long as your premiums are paid on time.
Can I have more than one life insurance policy?
Yes, you can hold multiple policies. Many clients use a 'laddering' strategy, keeping a large term policy while they have high expenses like a mortgage, and a permanent policy for life-long final expense coverage.
What happens if I outlive my term insurance policy?
If you outlive your term, coverage simply ends. At that point, you can choose to apply for a new policy, renew the current one (at a higher rate), or convert it to permanent coverage if your policy includes a conversion rider.
