​

Types of Life Insurance We Offer

 

Term Life Insurance

 

Term life insurance is the most affordable option and provides coverage for a specific period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. This is ideal for parents or individuals with a spouse or others who depend on your income. If something were to happen to you during the term of the policy, your beneficiaries would receive a death benefit to help replace lost income, cover living expenses, or manage other financial obligations.

​

Why Choose Term Life Insurance?

​

• Affordable premiums: Term life is typically much more affordable than permanent life insurance, making it ideal for those on a budget.

• Flexible coverage: You can choose the length of the term based on your needs, such as until your children are grown or until your mortgage is paid off.

• Financial security for dependents: A term policy can ensure that your loved ones are financially supported during your working years.

​

If you're a parent or have a spouse or other family members who depend on your income, a term life policy is an essential safety net. It’s an affordable way to protect your family’s future without the burden of expensive premiums.

​

Whole Life Insurance

 

Whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage and includes a savings component, known as cash value. A portion of your premium goes into a cash value account that grows over time. Whole life insurance is more expensive than term insurance, but it offers permanent protection and can also be a financial asset that you can borrow against.

​

Why Choose Whole Life Insurance?

​

• Lifelong coverage: As long as you keep your premiums paid, you’re covered for life.

• Cash value: Your policy grows in value over time and can be borrowed against if needed.

• Guaranteed death benefit: Your beneficiaries will receive the death benefit, no matter when you pass.

​

Whole life insurance is a great choice if you want to build a long-term financial asset while ensuring lifelong protection for your loved ones. It can be a strategic choice for those with specific estate planning needs or those looking for permanent coverage.

​

Universal Life Insurance

 

Universal life insurance offers flexible premiums and death benefits with the added benefit of a cash value account that grows over time based on interest rates. Unlike whole life insurance, universal life policies allow you to adjust your premiums and death benefits to match your financial situation.

​

Why Choose Universal Life Insurance?

​

• Flexible premiums: Adjust your premiums and death benefit amount as your financial situation changes.

• Cash value growth: Your policy’s cash value grows over time, earning interest based on current market conditions.

• Permanent coverage: As with whole life, you have lifelong coverage, but with more flexibility.

 

Universal life insurance offers flexibility and a long-term strategy, making it suitable for those who want to adapt their policy as their needs evolve.

​

The Importance of Life Insurance for Parents and Spouses

 

Life insurance is especially important for parents or individuals who have a spouse or others relying on their income. If you were to unexpectedly pass away, a life insurance policy can help ensure that your loved ones are financially supported during a difficult time.

​

• Replace lost income: Life insurance provides a lump-sum payment to help your family maintain their standard of living after your passing. This can cover everyday living expenses, mortgage payments, and other financial obligations.

• Cover funeral costs: The death benefit from a life insurance policy can help alleviate the financial burden of funeral expenses, which can often be substantial.

• Pay off debts: Life insurance can help cover any outstanding debts, including loans, credit cards, and medical bills, so your family isn’t left with the burden of unpaid bills.

• Provide for children’s education: If you have children, a life insurance policy can help ensure that funds are available for their education, even if you are no longer there to provide for them.

​

While whole life or universal life insurance may be great options for long-term financial planning, a low-cost term life policy is often the most accessible and practical option for parents and spouses looking to provide financial security for their loved ones. A term policy ensures that your family has a financial safety net during the years they depend on your income the most.

​

How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?

 

Determining the right amount of life insurance depends on a variety of factors, including your income, debt, number of dependents, and long-term financial goals. A good rule of thumb is to have life insurance coverage that is at least 10 to 12 times your annual income, but every situation is unique. Our team at River East Insurance will help you assess your needs and find the right policy to fit your budget and goals.
