Life Insurance

What would you do to help the ones you love most? Maybe the better question is: what can you do to help the ones you love most? Perhaps one of the best things you can do is to protect them even when you’re gone. That’s exactly what life insurance does for you and your loved ones. Life insurance is a security blanket that will continue to cover and protect the most important people in your life, even when you yourself no longer can.

Types of Life Insurance

Term Life Insurance– Insurance coverage that lasts for a specified amount of time. This is the most straightforward life insurance plan. The policy holder decides how long of a term they want to purchase (generally 5 to 30 years) and how much of a death benefit they want their beneficiaries to receive. The policy holder pays a monthly premium, which tends to be much lower than other types of life insurance plans.

Permanent Life Insurance– Insurance coverage that lasts as long as the premium is paid. There are many different types of permanent life insurance such as universal, whole, and variable. The main thing they all have in common, other than not expiring, is that the money put into the policy can be an investment vehicle. This can be a great asset for those who have a hard time saving money. You can secure a good future for yourself and for your loved ones after you’re gone at the same time. The type of permanent plan you choose changes certain options such as the ability to change the premium and death benefit or how your money is invested. It’s best to speak with a Goldenwest Life Insurance expert to see which type of plan is best for you.
