LIFE INSURANCE: 

Which Type Is Right For You?

Term Life

Term Life Insurance covers you (the insured) for a set term - typically 10 to 30 years. It does not build up any cash value.  You can often purchase large amounts of term insurance at affordable rates when you are younger to help pay for a mortgage, children's support and college educations, family expenses, bills, etc. should you prematurely pass away.  Many Term Life policies allow you to convert your policy to a whole life policy, and some will have a Return of Premium feature to refund your premium payments if you outlive the policy.

Final Expense Life Insurance

Simplified Issued Whole life insurance (to pay for burial, cremation, funeral expenses and outstanding bills).

Single Premium Final Expense

Simplified Issue permanent life insurance available to clients up to age 85. Clients pay one lump sum (as low as $5,000) to fully pay up a life insurance policy to help pay for burial expense and pass on wealth tax free.  No ongoing premium payments!
