Determining these details can help in deciding what options of coverage or savings you wish to have. You can opt for coverage to help with the mortgage of a new home, passing on your inheritance, to derive a regular income for family members after your passing or to help pay for your funeral costs.
Policy Terms
A typical policy can either be I effect for a specific time period or it can be fixed for the duration of your lifetime. Term insurance comes in “terms” of 25 years and well suited for a mortgage or financial safety net for surviving beneficiaries. Keep in mind that if you survive longer than the policy term, there won’t be a payout. Whole life insurance is best suited for those who wish to leave an inheritance to surviving family members after death. A nice plus is that the premiums will often reduce over time as equity builds while you continue paying, which is not the case with term life insurance.
