What Type of Policy Should I Get and How Much Will My Family Need?
There are two basic types of life insurance policies. Term Life is valid for a certain number of years (usually somewhere between 5 and 30). These policies expire at the end of their term but have cheaper premiums. In the event that you pass within the term, your family will receive the benefits. Whole Life policies are permanent and are valid from the start date until you die. These policies are more expensive but are guaranteed to payout upon your death. As far as how much you need, that can vary from person to person. Take into consideration how much income you bring home to your family, how many children you have, and how long your loved ones will need to be supported.

Who Should I Talk To About My Policy?
You should always consult a professional who can guide you to the right policy and company that will best suit your individual needs. Every situation is different but our agents are willing and able to sit and talk with you about your options and make sure that your family is protected.
