LIFE INSURANCE

      Life insurance may be the most important aspect of insurance to consider, not only for yourself, but also for your family.  This is especially important if you are, or a loved one is, providing your family’s main source of income.  Special consideration should be taken to protect the financial stability of those you care for.

Why is life insurance so important?

      In the event of a tragedy, life insurance provides for four major things: your debt, your children, your family’s future income, and if you have one, your business.  Life insurance can help avoid turning a personal tragedy into a financial one by assisting in paying off home, school, or business loans that your family may be left with and buy them the necessary time to reestablish themselves.  If you run a business, offering life insurance can help you keep valuable employees, provide for the families of an employee who passes, and assist in the transfer of a business in the event an owner or partner dies.

What policies do we offer?

Term Life Insurance

The simplest type of life insurance and usually the cheapest to start.

 

  • Typically provides coverage up to age 90
  • Premiums guaranteed to not change for at least the first 10 years, then increase annually with age
  • Convertible (within certain limits), regardless of health, to Whole or Universal life insurance
  • Especially helpful for younger families who need coverage but do not yet earn their peak income

Whole Life Insurance

From just 15 days old, these policies are designed to serve as an investment that lasts as long as you do.  The younger you are when the policy starts, the cheaper your rate will be, forever!

 

  • Provides coverage up to age 121
  • Premiums never increase from when coverage starts to age 100, when premiums are no longer required
  • While initial premiums are higher than term life insurance, your own cash value accumulates behind the scenes
  • Most conservative type of life insurance with guaranteed level premiums, guaranteed cash value accumulation, and a guaranteed death benefit

Universal Life Insurance

Similar to Whole life insurance, but allows greater flexibility in premium amount and timing.

 

  • Provides coverage up to age 121
  • You choose the amount of premium to pay, within contract limits.  That payment goes into a separate account within the policy, with the cost of the policy deducted from the account each month.  Your policy stays in force as long as there is enough value in the account to cover the deductions
  • You can accrue more cash value by paying more premium
  • When times are tough, you can reduce or even pause premium payments as long as there is enough cash value to cover policy costs

One final note...

      Life insurance is clearly beneficial and arguably necessary, however that doesn’t make its consideration any easier.  We recognize that to prepare for the worst, we have to understand the worst.  And that intimidates most people.  We’re not here to judge or convince you that you need something you don’t, but if you’re interested in talking about how life insurance can help ensure a financially stable future for your family after you or a loved one passes, a Golden Sunrise Insurance agent is always available.
