Life insurance
A good financial plan can be the difference between leaving your loved ones in a good position financially and letting them face debts and insufficient income.
Life insurance can help create financial security for you and your family. If you die prematurely, this can be used for:
Pay final expenses and all debts
Provide income for your family
Make sure your family has the resources to maintain a comfortable standard of living
Leave a legacy for your favorite charity
While you are still living, some life insurance policies can:
Build tax-efficient savings that you can tap into as needed for personal or business opportunities
Supplement your retirement income or provide long-term care or home care for yourself or a family member
Term life insurance
Term life insurance is well suited to meet high short-term protection needs at the lowest initial cost. For example, a couple with young children and a mortgage may choose term life insurance as an affordable way to get the comprehensive coverage they need today.
Term life insurance coverage can do a good job of meeting immediate needs and may offer the option of later switching or converting to permanent life insurance without providing proof of health.
Term plans can also be renewable after 5, 10 or 20 years without providing proof of health. The price increases according to your age at the time of renewal. You can convert a temporary 10 plan to a temporary 20 plan between the first and fifth anniversary of the policy or the insured's 65th birthday, depending on the first anniversary.
You can purchase term life insurance as a first step before purchasing permanent life insurance.
