Why Do I Need Life Insurance?

 Many people probably ask themselves this question.  Here are some points to ponder.


Replace your income if you were not around.

I know that isn’t the most pleasant thought, but if you unexpectedly pass away, how will your family pay for:

mortgage and housing expenses

household debt

funeral expenses

childcare and healthcare expenses


Protection that is guaranteed

Your beneficiaries will receive a lump sum payment that is guaranteed by the insurance company.


A benefit that is tax free

The payment that you receive is generally tax free, so your beneficiaries will receive and can use the entire benefit.


Guaranteed cash value

If you purchase a whole life policy, your policy builds a cash value that is guaranteed to grow, and remember, tax free.


Potential for dividends

Even though not guaranteed, some whole life policies will always have the potential to receive dividends that you can take in cash, buy paid up additional insurance or pay towards your premiums.


Optional riders

Many policies will give you, at an additional cost, an option to purchase additional insurance, such as a chronic illness policy, pay your premiums if you become disabled or purchase coverage for your children.
