Figuring out how much life insurance you need requires an analysis of your current and future financial responsibilities as well as the resources your family could tap.

Some future obligations may include what it would cost to help your surviving family members meet immediate and ongoing needs such as funeral costs, taxes, food, mortgage expenses, clothing, utilities, and any future obligations like retirement and college planning.

All your financial obligations is the approximate amount of life insurance that you will need. If you’re confused, no need to worry. This is the reason why many individuals turn to insurance professionals to assist them with finding how much life insurance is actually needed.

You will be assigned to one of TermLifeApp’s insurance specialists as soon as you submit an online application or request a paper application. We will closely work with you to ensure your application process goes through smoothly and minimize any issues that may arise.

It’s hard to say because it depends on your own circumstances and financial goals.

Generally, Term Life Insurance offers the greatest coverage for the lowest initial premium and is a great solution for individuals with a temporary need or a very limited budget.

Permanent Life Insurance might make more sense for individuals looking for lifelong protection, or if the option of accumulating tax-deferred cash values is attractive to you. Permanent Insurance is primarily used in Estate Planning.

Or you can choose to buy both! A combination of both term and permanent insurance is often the right answer.

Permanent Life Insurance has 3 main types: Whole, Universal, and Indexed Universal Life Insurance.

Whole Life Insurance provides you with the certainty of a guaranteed amount of death benefit and a guaranteed rate of return on your cash values. And you’ll have a level premium that is guaranteed to never increase for life. Another valuable benefit of a Whole Life policy is the opportunity to earn dividends. Dividends give you the opportunity to receive an enhanced death benefit and cash value growth.

Universal Life offers adjustable premiums that give you the option to make higher premium payments when you have extra cash on hand or lower ones when money is tight. Universal Life also allows you, after your initial payment, to pay premiums at any time, in virtually any amount, subject to certain minimums and maximums. You also can reduce or increase the death benefit more easily than under a traditional Whole Life policy.

Indexed Universal Life provides death benefit protection and the opportunity to build your cash value based on the increases of market indexes. Even if these indexes dip, you are still safe with a guaranteed minimum interest rate. Some key features include death benefit protection, greater growth potential than traditional universal life policies, guaranteed not to have a negative index crediting rate even in a down market, and flexibility on how you want to pay your policy premiums.

• Always name a contingent, or secondary, beneficiary just in case you outlive your first beneficiary.

• Select a specific beneficiary rather than having the proceeds of your life insurance paid to your estate. One of the great advantages of life insurance is that it can be paid to your family immediately. If it is payable to your estate, however, it will have to go through probate with the rest of your assets.

• Be very specific in wording beneficiary designations. Saying “wife of the insured” could result in an ex-spouse getting the proceeds. Naming specific children may exclude those born later. If your child dies before you, do you want the proceeds to go to that child’s children? Changing the beneficiary designation is easy, but you have to remember to do it.

Typically, it involves a quick blood draw, a urine sample, a blood pressure reading, and height and weight measurements. Some insurance may require additional testing.

If you miss a premium payment, you typically have up to a 31-day grace period during which you can pay the premium with no interest charged. If you own a term policy and fail to pay your premium within the grace period, your insurance company will typically terminate the policy. If you own a permanent policy and fail to pay your premium within the grace period, your insurance company, with your authorization, can draw from your policy’s cash value to keep the policy in force. In some flexible-premium policies, premiums may be reduced or skipped as long as sufficient cash values remain in the policy. However, this will result in lower cash values and a shortened coverage period.

Underwriting is the process by which an Insurance carrier examines, accepts or rejects insurance risks so as to charge the proper premium for the coverage. The insurance company’s review a current insurance physical, past medical history, financial records and will conduct a telephone interview.

Life Insurance is the best way to protect your family and provide a financial peace of mind in case anything were to happen to you. If you have financial dependents, you may want to consider insurance to maintain their current standard of living under any circumstance.
