Providing for Your Death Benefit
Protection Needs
– 2 –
Who really needs the death benefit protection that comes from life insurance?
Anyone who has obligations that would leave a financial burden on loved ones should consider the benefits of life insurance. A life insurance death benefit can supply the resources to help overcome financial adversity as a result of death.
Fulfill Mortgage, Debt Obligations A term life insurance policy is one way to help provide the assets necessary to fulfill any debt obligations that may remain if you were to die during the term of the policy. For instance, if you have 18 years left on a mortgage, a 20-year term insur-ance policy will last long enough to cover the period of liability. Hartford Term 10, 15, 20, 30 offers four guaranteed premium duration periods including 15 and 30 years, which coincide with typical mortgage loan periods.
All guarantees within the policy are based on the claims paying ability of the issuing company.
Help Cover Education Expenses
Term insurance can also provide assets to help cover higher education tuition costs for children if you were to die before a degree is obtained. If you are the primary source of tuition funding, your premature death could have a profound impact on the lives of your children without proper planning, possibly pressuring them into the work force before their education is complete. Term insurance may be ideal since, like the need, the coverage is temporary.
premiums required to maintain a permanent life insurance policy. One of the most attractive features of term insurance is the relatively low cost. This makes term a viable option for people who need death benefit protection to replace lost income in the event of death but are currently unable to afford permanent protection. Many term policies, including The Hartford’s, also feature a conversion provision, which enables you to convert your term policy to select permanent policies within a set number of years, without having to undergo another medical exam.
Supplement to Permanent Protection Even if you already have a permanent life insurance policy, there may be a place in your portfolio for term insurance. Needs change and evolve. If a review of your life insurance coverage finds that you have additional needs that are not permanent, purchasing a term life insurance policy may be a cost effective way to gain the additional protection.
