Why it matters

Choose coverage around the people who count on you

The right type and amount of life insurance depends on your situation: your income, your debts, your children's ages and what you want to leave behind. Term and permanent coverage meet different needs, and some families use both.

Insurers generally consider your age and health when they review an application and set the premium. Reviewing your coverage after a marriage, a new baby or a new home helps keep it in step with your life.

Coverage through work can help, but it often ends or changes if you leave the job and may not be enough on its own.

Answers

Life insurance questions

Straight answers to common questions. If yours is not here, call or text our agency.

Term life covers a set number of years and generally has no cash value. Whole life is designed to last your lifetime and builds cash value, which is one reason its premiums are usually higher for the same death benefit.

It depends on what you want the policy to do, such as replacing income, paying off debts or covering future costs like a child's education. We can help you think through those needs.

Not always. Some policies ask health questions only, while others may require an exam, depending on the insurer, the type of policy and the amount of coverage.
