Frequently Asked Questions

Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period — typically 10, 20, or 30 years — and pays a death benefit if you pass away during that term. It's straightforward and affordable. Whole life insurance covers you for your entire life and builds cash value over time, but premiums are significantly higher. Most families start with term life to maximize coverage during their highest-need years.

A common guideline is 10–12 times your annual income, but your actual need depends on your debts, dependents, income replacement goals, and existing savings. We help you work through these factors to find a coverage amount that protects your family without overpaying.

Yes, in many cases. Some carriers specialize in higher-risk applicants, and as an independent agency we can shop your application across multiple insurers to find the best rate for your situation. Some policies also offer simplified or guaranteed issue options that don't require a medical exam.

The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premiums. Locking in a rate in your 20s or 30s is almost always more affordable than waiting. Key life events — marriage, buying a home, having children — are strong signals that it's time to review your coverage.
