Life Insurance
Life insurance may be one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make. In the event of a tragedy, life insurance proceeds can help pay the bills, continue a family business, finance future needs like your children’s education or even protect your spouse’s retirement plans.
There are several types of life insurance. How much you need and what type is right for you depends on your needs and circumstances.
- Universal life insurance pays a death benefit to the beneficiary you name and provides premium and face amount flexibility. It provides market rates of interest on your cash value account and tax deferred accumulation.
- Whole life insurance provides permanent protection for your beneficiaries. It offers cash value and tax-deferred accumulation.
- Term insurance is designed to meet needs for a set "term." It pays the face amount of the policy if you die during the term. Term insurance has no cash surrender or loan value. Premium costs generally increase with your age.
Your insurance or financial representative can help you determine how much and what type of life insurance may be right for you.
