Life Insurance
Life insurance can help provide financial support to your beneficiaries after your death. Your needs may include income replacement, debts, childcare, or a legacy for your family.
- Term coverage provides protection for a stated period.
- Permanent coverage is designed for longer-term needs; some policies include cash value.
- Indexed universal life (IUL) is one permanent coverage option to discuss in detail.
Review premiums, policy charges, guaranteed and non-guaranteed values, and what is required to keep coverage in force.
Help your loved ones stay financially prepared.
Mortgage Protection
Mortgage protection commonly refers to life insurance selected with a mortgage obligation in mind. A death benefit can help your beneficiaries manage housing costs and other financial priorities.
- Discuss your mortgage balance and the remaining loan term.
- Consider the household income needed to maintain the home.
- Review how this coverage fits with insurance you already have.
This is different from private mortgage insurance (PMI), which protects a lender. Policy benefits and beneficiaries depend on the coverage selected.
Leave a plan for the costs that remain.
Final Expense
Final expense coverage is life insurance often selected to help loved ones with funeral costs and other end-of-life expenses. Compare the benefit amount, premium, and policy terms.
- Consider the expenses you want to help cover.
- Review any waiting periods or graded death benefits.
- Understand how premiums and coverage may change over time.
Eligibility and benefits vary by policy and insurer. Review the actual policy terms before choosing coverage.
Explore insurance-based retirement income.
Retirement & Annuities
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company. Depending on its terms, it may help you accumulate funds or receive income payments as part of your retirement plan.
- Discuss your income goals, time horizon, and liquidity needs.
- Compare contract charges and surrender periods.
- Review how interest is credited and which benefits are guaranteed.
Annuities are not right for every situation. Withdrawals may involve charges and tax consequences. Guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability.
