Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating life insurance can be overwhelming. Here, we address some common questions to help you make informed decisions about your coverage options.

  • How can I file a claim?

    Please feel welcome to contact us.  We will be glad to assist you with your claim.

  • What discounts are available?

    When purchasing life insurance, several factors can lead to general discounts or lower premiums. Being young and healthy is often the most significant advantage, as insurers base rates on life expectancy and risk. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol, can also significantly reduce costs, with non-smokers often paying considerably less. Additionally, choosing a term life policy over a permanent one is typically more affordable, as term policies provide coverage for a set period without building cash value. Some insurers offer discounts for paying premiums annually instead of monthly or quarterly

  • What is the difference between Term and Whole Life Insurance?

    The core difference between term life insurance and whole life insurance lies in their duration and features. Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period, or "term" (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). It's generally more affordable as it only pays out if the insured dies within that term, and it does not build cash value. In contrast, whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides lifelong coverage as long as premiums are paid. It also includes a cash value component that grows over time on a tax-deferred basis, which policyholders can access through loans or withdrawals during their lifetime. While whole life premiums are typically higher than term life, they remain fixed for the life of the policy.

  • How much coverage do I actually need to adequately protect my family?

    To determine your coverage needs, consider your financial obligations like mortgage, outstanding debts, future education costs for your children, and your family's ongoing living expenses for at least 10-15 years. A common guideline is to aim for coverage that's 5-10 times your annual income, but a more precise calculation involves adding up specific anticipated costs your family would face without your income.

  • Which type of life insurance is best for me: term or whole life?

    The "best" type depends on your specific goals. If you need coverage for a set period, like while you have a mortgage or young children, and want the most affordable option, term life insurance is generally preferable. If you desire lifelong coverage, a cash value component that grows over time, and fixed premiums, whole life insurance might be a better fit, though it comes at a higher cost.

  • What factors determine the cost of my premiums, and how can I get the most affordable rate?

    our premiums are primarily determined by your age, health (including medical history and lifestyle habits like smoking), the type and amount of coverage you choose, and your gender. To get the most affordable rate, prioritize maintaining good health, purchase coverage when you're younger, and shop around by getting quotes from multiple insurance providers to compare their offerings.
