Life Insurance

At Janette L. Davis, CPA, we understand that life insurance planning can be an intimidating process. Many people wonder if they really need life insurance and how much coverage is appropriate for their specific situation. We are here to answer those questions and guide you through the process of selecting and purchasing a life insurance policy that meets your individual needs.

Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company that provides a death benefit to your beneficiaries when you pass away. In exchange for paying premiums, the insurance company agrees to pay out a lump sum of money to your designated beneficiaries upon your death.

Life insurance is essential if you have loved ones who depend on you financially. If you were to pass away unexpectedly, your life insurance policy can help provide financial support for your family, pay off debts and cover final expenses. If you are the primary breadwinner for your family, life insurance can help ensure that they can continue to pay bills and maintain their standard of living after you're gone.

The amount of life insurance you need depends on several factors, including your current financial situation, the number of dependents you have, and your long-term financial goals. We can help you determine the appropriate amount of coverage based on your unique needs.

Purchasing life insurance can be a complicated process, and it's important to work with a professional who can guide you through the process. We can help you understand the different types of policies available, determine how much coverage you need, and help you find the best policy for your individual needs and budget.

There are two main types of life insurance policies: term life insurance and permanent life insurance. Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period of time, typically between 10-30 years, and is generally less expensive than permanent life insurance. Permanent life insurance provides coverage for the duration of your life and typically includes a savings component.

In some cases, it may make sense to have multiple life insurance policies. For example, if you have a term life insurance policy that will expire before your financial obligations are met, you may want to consider purchasing a permanent policy to provide additional coverage. We can help you evaluate your situation and determine if multiple policies are appropriate for your needs.

Life insurance can cover a wide range of expenses, including final expenses, debt repayment, and providing for your dependents. Your beneficiaries can use the proceeds from your life insurance policy to cover living expenses, such as mortgage payments, car payments, and other bills.

The cost and availability of life insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Before implementing a strategy involving life insurance, it would be prudent to make sure that you are insurable by having the policy approved. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of life insurance. Policies commonly have mortality and expense charges. In addition, if a policy is surrendered prematurely, there may be surrender charges and income tax implications.

For a comprehensive review of your personal situation, always consult your legal advisor. Neither Cetera Financial Specialists LLC, Cetera Investment Advisers LLC nor any of its representatives may give legal advice.
