If someone would be in financially difficulty in the event of your death, or if you want to leave funds for heirs or a favorite charity, you should have life insurance. I can help you select the type of life insurance to best meet your needs.

There are two main types of life insurance: TERM and PERMANENT.

TERM insurance is appropriate for needs with limited time horizons, such as for future college costs for your children or to cover a mortgage balance. Term insurance features include:​

  1. Lower Cost
  2. Ability to have premium guaranteed and level for up to 30 years
  3. No cash value (consider it as renting a death benefit)

PERMANENT insurance is designed to remain in force indefinitely. Features include:

  1.  Higher premium than with term but there may be cash value

2.  Two types of Permanent Insurance:

a.   Whole Life Insurance - requires a specified premium
b.   Universal Life Insurance - has a proposed premium (more flexible)

3.   A sub-type of Universal Life is INDEXED UNIVERSAL LIFE, which measures the growth of the internal  value based on indexes that track the stock market

NOTE: A more recent innovation is a policy blending life insurance with long-term care features.

Life insurance, as part of a sound financial plan, may be appropriate in many different situations.

I can help ease the process of deciding upon and implementing a plan for life insurance that will be right for you..
