Life Insurance Questions
How much life insurance do I need?
There’s no single right number for everyone. We’ll look at your income, debts, mortgage, family responsibilities, and long-term goals to estimate how much coverage could help your loved ones manage financially if you’re not here.
What is the difference between term life and permanent life insurance?
Term life insurance generally provides coverage for a set period of time and is often more affordable. Permanent life insurance is designed to last as long as you live, as long as required premiums are paid, and may build cash value. Specific options, features, and underwriting depend on the insurance carrier.
Do I need a medical exam for life insurance?
Some life insurance policies require a medical exam and health questions, while others may offer simplified or accelerated underwriting. Requirements vary by carrier and product. I’ll help you understand what to expect based on the options you’re considering.
Can I have more than one life insurance policy?
In many cases, people have more than one policy, such as a policy through work and an individual policy. The key is making sure the total coverage amount fits your goals and that you can comfortably afford the premiums.
Can I replace or change an existing life insurance policy?
It may be possible to adjust or replace an existing policy, but it’s important to compare benefits, costs, and underwriting requirements before making changes. We’ll review what you have now and what you’re trying to accomplish so you can make an informed decision.
