Term Life Insurance
Term life is the most simple form of life insurance sold and is generally sufficient for most people. Term life is sold over lengths of time, typically ranging from one to thirty years; the majority of people purchase policies long enough to cover their working years. Term policies are in place in the event of early death; the surviving beneficiaries are financially aided in short-term expenses such as paying off a mortgage, covering bills and debt, or establishing an education fund. Just as policies range in length, so does the payout in accordance with need and budget consideration.
Universal Life Insurance
A permanent life option that adapts to you as your life changes. Universal life is a permanent policy option that allows your premium amount and your death benefit amount to fluctuate. As a policyholder, you are able to control and adjust the timing of payments in accordance with your current and evolving future financial needs. These policies generally also have a cash value element that grows with market values and an interest rate that rises and falls with the financial market (not to fall beneath your guaranteed minimum). This type of policy remains valid and in place regardless of age or health as long as the premiums are being paid. This type of policy might seem complicated, but our experts will take you through step by step and also help you make adjustments so that your policy remains affordable and relevant to your current lifestyle.
Whole Life Insurance
A permanent life policy option generally lasts the entire lifetime of the policyholder as long as the premiums are met and paid on time. This is the closest option to a “select and forget” policy that typically allows you to keep the same premium throughout the duration of the policyholder’s life. Within the terms of a whole life insurance policy, there is a cash value that grows throughout the duration of the policy and a fixed death benefit amount. Rates typically run higher as there are fewer risks and variables for benefit payout, but it is ideal for individuals who want lifelong life insurance coverage and a way to accumulate additional savings over time.
Variable Life Insurance
A variable life policy is the most budget-friendly permanent life option, though it holds the most risk. This type of policy includes a death benefit payout as well as an investment option that can grow over time. When selecting this policy, you choose a fixed death benefit, but any cash value attached fluctuates and is solely based on the success of the bonds, investments, mutual funds, or stocks of your choice throughout the policy. There is more flexibility for the policyholder of a variable life policy than in other life insurance options. Policyholders have the freedom and ability to adjust investment funds as their needs and financial goals change and evolve. Our agents will help you go through the complexities, fees, and risks associated with this type of policy and help you make an informed decision you can be confident in.
Survivorship Life Insurance
A life policy with a payout not upon an individual’s passing but upon the passing of a pair of people. Typically spouses or partners choose this option, but so can business partners or associates. Generally, a survivorship policy is used as an estate planning tool allowing beneficiaries access to funds after both policyholders have passed. Survivorship policies can be used in conjunction with other life insurance coverage, and these policies are typically less expensive than the individual policy alternative.
Funeral Life Insurance
A funeral life policy, often referred to as final expense insurance, is generated to cover funeral costs and burial or cremation expenses. This policy is popular among the aging community to ensure they relieve their family of the financial burden of end-of-life arrangements, and also are easier to obtain over traditional life policies as they have less restricted requirements. These policies are smaller in value, might have higher premiums, and are specific for end-of-life expense coverage.

Umbrella Life Insurance
An umbrella life policy provides higher coverage limits and broader protection than traditional life policies, which provide additional financial security for your loved ones in light of an unexpected tragedy. Umbrella life policies are especially beneficial for individuals with significant assets, high-net-worth families, or those who have dependents with special needs or significant disabilities. In addition to covering the policyholder’s life, these policies can also provide additional coverage to include accidents, disabilities, and the expense of long-term care.
