Having a young family is the busiest time of life, and raising little ones tends to tie up a majority of the available time and attention. Young parents may forget to consider that putting a term life insurance policy in place is an important matter. Over the younger years, these policies are at their most affordable rates. Protecting your family with term life insurance can bring you peace of mind and security – you can be confident they will be cared for should you suddenly pass away or become incapacitated.
Even the wealthiest people typically have substantial life insurance so that their heirs can gain access to immediate financial support, without adding to the tax burden. For others who may not be wealthy, having the knowledge that they are not leaving their loved ones in a difficult financial position is the inspiration for putting term life insurance in place.
Unfortunately, as we age, our access to low cost term life insurance diminishes, particularly if there are any health issues. In fact, most underwriting companies deny term life insurance coverage to those over 75 years of age, even for applicants who are in good general health.
At Lowdermilk & Associates, we speak to many people who are middle-aged and beyond who are looking for affordable life insurance. Depending on age, we have several options to choose from.
Why do you need life insurance?
The older a person is, the more they pay in term life insurance premiums. Young people often forget to consider the importance of getting term life insurance. In fact, should a young parent pass away, the benefits provided to the family will protect them from financial disaster, particularly when the individual was a breadwinner whose income supported the family.
Not a Senior Yet?
While it is never too late to have life insurance, it is far less expensive to buy term life insurance early on. Young, healthy people have more choices and are attractive customers for insurance companies. Term life insurance during these years is very affordable, and provides substantial benefits. These policies are available for a set number of years at a specific rate.
