FAQ's

Life Insurance Basics

Can I buy life insurance even though I have serious health issues?

In almost every case the answer is Yes. Insurance carriers know that everyone is going to die, so the question is not whether you’ll die like the rest of us, but when. In this case your death benefit may be reduced for a couple of years, until full benefits kick in. And some health issues aren’t as serious to the insurance carriers as you may think. Schedule a phone appointment to discuss your options.

How is funeral expense insurance different from other types of life insurance?

Generally, a funeral expense policy is permanent life insurance offered in smaller death benefit amounts ranging from $1,000 to $30,000 for persons aged 40 or older. However, the proceeds from any life insurance policy can be used to pay for funeral expenses in the event of the death of the insured.

I have life insurance on my job. Why do I need more?

The fact is you can lose your job. You can become seriously ill and get laid off from your job. You may decide to leave your job to start your own business. Your job can go out of business. The amount of job insurance that you have may not be enough to cover your family’s needs. Having your own policy is simply smart, and the sooner you start, the less it costs, and you can choose a policy that builds wealth for you.

I don’t have children or other dependents. Why do I need life insurance?

The fact is you are going to die and someone is going to bear the cost of your final expenses. Who is that person? GoFundMe® is not a funeral expense plan. . . it’s a plea for help. For your loved ones it can be embarrassing and humiliating to admit that you didn’t care enough to protect them. Unlike accidents or illness, death is not an unexpected event.

Additionally, there are life insurance policies that offer living benefits, which means you can access all or a portion of the death benefit for your own care in the event of terminal, chronic or critical illness.

How much life insurance should I buy?

Not one penny more than you can afford. A little bit of help to your family is better than no help at all. If you cannot afford to keep the policy in place, then you won’t and it will lapse. Buy what you can afford, even if it’s not all your family needs. It may allow them to bury you without going into debt. It may buy them time to stay in the home until it’s sold. It may pay off a loan, finance a college education, or repair a car. If doesn’t make financial sense to you, it won’t provide any “cents” to the family you leave behind.

Should I buy term or permanent life insurance?

Focus on your short-term and long-term needs. Term will cost the least in the short-term, but it’s usually not a long-term play, despite 30-year policies. In 30 years, your cost for similar coverage may be unaffordable. Will you still need coverage in 30 years? Perhaps you’re thinking that you won’t need the same amount of coverage in 30 years. However, once you factor in inflation, a $100,000 policy purchased today will not have the same buying power in 30 years. A return-of-premium universal policy or permanent insurance may be better long-term options. Schedule a phone appointment to discuss your goals and options.

Is life insurance an investment?

“The purpose of life insurance is to provide financial protection to your loved ones after your death. Certain types of life insurance can also function as an investment, because they build cash value and count as a financial asset while you’re alive. Combined with other investments, retirement, and estate planning, life insurance is a key part of a sound financial plan.”
