Why do I need
Life Insurance?
Life insurance is an essential part of financial planning. One reason most people buy life insurance is to replace income that would be lost with the death of a wage earner. The cash provided by life insurance also can help ensure that your dependents are not burdened with significant debt when you die. Life insurance proceeds could mean your dependents will not have to sell assets to pay outstanding bills or taxes. An important feature of life insurance is that typically no income tax is payable on proceeds paid to beneficiaries.

How much Insurance do I need?
Before buying life insurance, you should assemble personal financial information and review your family's needs. There are a number of factors to consider when determining how much protection you should have. These include:
immediate needs
Any immediate needs at the time of death, such as final illness expenses, burial costs and estate taxes
Financial Funding
Funds for a readjustment period, to finance a move or to provide time for family members to find a job
ongoing needs
Ongoing financial needs, such as monthly bills and expenses, day-care costs, college tuition or retirement.
When trying to determine the proper amount of life insurance you may need,
you may wish to consult with a tax advisor, accountant, and/or financial planner.
Choosing
a Plan
Buying life insurance is not like any other purchase you will make. When you pay your premiums, you're buying the future financial security of your family that only life insurance can provide.
