Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much term life insurance do I really need?
A solid starting point is enough to replace your income for the years your family depends on it, plus your mortgage, debts, and future costs like college. Many people land somewhere around 10–15 times their annual income, but the right number is personal. We'll walk through your obligations and build a figure that actually protects your family — not a guess.
What term length should I choose — 10, 20, or 30 years?
Match the term to the years your family is most financially exposed — often until the mortgage is paid and the kids are independent. A 20- or 30-year term is popular for young families because it locks in a low rate while you're young and healthy. We'll compare a couple of lengths so you see the cost difference before committing.
What happens when my term ends — do I lose everything?
If you outlive the term, the coverage simply ends and there's no payout — that's why term is so affordable. Most policies let you renew (at a higher age-based rate) or convert to permanent coverage without a new medical exam, which is valuable if your health has changed. We'll choose a policy with strong conversion options so you keep flexibility.
Is term or whole life better for my situation?
Term gives you the most coverage per dollar for a set period — ideal for income replacement while you have dependents and debt. Whole life costs more but lasts your whole life and builds cash value, which suits estate, final-expense, or lifelong-need goals. Many families use both; we'll show you the tradeoffs in plain numbers.
Will I need a medical exam, and how long does approval take?
It depends on your age, the coverage amount, and the carrier — some policies require a quick exam, while many offer no-exam options that approve in days. We shop across top-rated life carriers to find the best combination of price and underwriting for your health. Quotes are free with no obligation.
