Life Insurance Benefits

Life insurance is a contract that pays a tax free lump sum benefit in the event that the insured of a policy passes away. The benefit is paid to the policies named beneficiaries which can be chosen by the policy owner.  The policy owner can also stipulate how the benefit gets used by electing a trustee. The benefit can also be used however the beneficiary wants if the policy owner chooses. 

Life insurance is generally used for two reason; to manage estate taxes and protect loved ones.

  • insurance   Temporary life insurance only lasts for a set period of time. It is typically the most affordable way to protect a young family.
  • insurance   Permanent life insurance lasts the entire life of the insured and can build cash value. It's a great tool to manage estate taxes.
  • insurance   The longer you wait to buy life insurance the more expensive it is. Rates increase with age

It’s important to determining your life insurance needs periodically.  If you’re committed to growing the financial stability and capacity of your family, planning is key. Let us help you determine how much life insurance you need.

How Prices Are Determined

There are two main determining factors when pricing life insurance; age and health. The older you get, generally the more expensive the life insurance. Also rates decrease the more you can prove yourself to be healthy. This means that medical tests, and questionnaires are required to get the best rates. This approval process is referred to as underwriting. There are three degrees of underwriting for life insurance; fully underwritten, simplified underwriting and guaranteed acceptance. 

It is always recommended to use fully underwritten life insurance if health permits. While approval may take up to 3 months, you can always bridge coverage with a policy of less stringent underwritten while you await approval. We would be happy to provide advice as to which policy type is most suitable. For help determining policy suitability, please fill out our medical questionnaire.
