We need coverage on our homes, rentals, automobiles, and even our lives and children's lives. You may ask what good this is while pointing out how much you do not use your automobile coverage or how much you pay in. The fact is if you get into an accident, you will be glad you have it. You may still be muttering. You will be glad you have it when the person you have gotten into an accident with comes to collect damages. The company will pay out for their repairs and injuries, so you can focus on healing. If you chose to get only liability coverage, you may still be on the hook for your own damage, but you will be glad you avoided the legal trouble in most states and writing a hefty check for the other person. The same goes for life insurance.
If your husband or wife were to pass away, the last thing you will want to deal with is money. Yet, funerals cost money. A little foresight will allow you to grieve without the stress of money, taking days off work and planning a funeral. You and your spouse should consider your options before tragedy strikes your home. There are many types of coverage, and depending on what you are looking for, you may want to do a little research. The most promoted policies are term and whole life. They carry different benefits. A whole life policy costs a little more but allows you to build savings. The company will offer a higher percentage rate than a typical saving plan. Another benefit is that you can often borrow against it. You can withdraw the money for a new roof and pay yourselves back. No questions asked, just call and ask for a check.
A term policy is going to cost less. The benefit is that your family can be fully insured for less money a month. You will want to talk with your agent to discuss how much coverage you need. Your agent will discuss other scenarios with you. For instance, what would happen if you were to both pass away and leave your children orphans? They will discuss how much coverage you would want for that. They will inform you on the types of life insurance policies they offer that would protect your family.
Coupled with drawing up a will, life insurance can be a gift you give your family. Like auto insurance, you will wish you never have to use it. If something happens and you need it, you will be glad you took the time to make this important purchase. Take advantage of this to discuss other plans to care for your family in tragedy. Be sure both spouses know where the bills are, all account numbers and any policy numbers. Do anything you can to make a terrible time easier. You will never regret taking the time.
