Life insurance helps protect the financial security of your family in the event of your untimely death. This is especially important when you are the primary wage earner.
Why buy life insurance?
Currently there are five specific reasons to buy a life
insurance policy:
- To protect your beneficiaries' home and livelihood.
- To replace your income & minimize your heirs’ debt.
- To provide beneficiaries with income tax-free death benefits.
- To provide the cash to pay any tax on your estate
- To help protect the value of your estate.
Although often mistakenly viewed as a price only decision, the long-term nature of life insurance necessitates careful consideration in the selection of the Life Insurance Carrier, the product type and the agent chosen to represent you and interact with your heirs.
