Life insurance starts with a personal question: what would you want to help protect for the people who depend on you?
Start with the purpose
Consider the responsibilities you want a policy to help address, such as a household’s ongoing expenses or a specific financial obligation. Make your own list before looking at policy illustrations.
Understand the broad categories
Term insurance provides protection for a specified period. Permanent policies are designed for longer-term coverage and can include cash value features. Costs, conditions and guarantees depend on the policy.
Questions to bring to a conversation
- How long do I need the protection?
- What premium can I comfortably maintain?
- What is guaranteed, and what could change?
- What exclusions, fees or surrender conditions should I understand?
