Life Insurance FAQs
Life insurance can be a vital part of your financial strategy to protect those you love. Which is part of what makes choosing a plan so stressful.
Some of the biggest challenges facing people searching for or managing life insurance plans are:
- Not knowing if it’s the right time or situation.
- Purchasing too much or too little insurance.
- Paying with methods that don’t match your needs.
In the newsletter, Three Questions to Answer Before You Purchase Life Insurance, we examine life insurance FAQs related to exactly these decision making challenges.
Do I Need Life Insurance?
Life insurance, also referred to as a death benefit, is a resourceful tool to have to replace a family member’s salary, helping with living expenses of surviving family as well as helping future generations build their own wealth. But you may not need life insurance at all. If you are one of many who lack the financial resources to fill a monetary gap if you were to die, then the answer for you is a resounding “yes.”
“Consider the people you love, such as your children and spouse. You want to ensure they would have a solid financial base (however you define it) if you were to die. Very often the best answer is using life insurance to create an estate and income for them.”
