Life Insurance FAQs

Still Have Questions About Renters Insurance? We’ve Got Answers.

  • Do I really need life insurance?

    If someone depends on you financially—kids, a spouse, aging parents—then yes, life insurance is one of the best ways to protect them. It ensures your loved ones won’t be left covering debts, mortgage payments, or daily expenses on their own if something happens to you. Plus, life insurance can be surprisingly affordable!

  • What’s the difference between term and whole life insurance?

    Term life insurance is like renting coverage—you get protection for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years) at a lower cost. Whole life insurance is more like owning—it lasts your entire life and even builds cash value that you can borrow from. If you're looking for something simple and affordable, term life is great. If you want lifelong coverage with savings benefits, whole life might be the better fit.

  • How much life insurance do I actually need?

    A good rule of thumb is 10-15 times your annual income, but the right amount depends on your situation. Consider things like mortgage debt, education costs for kids, and ongoing expenses for your family. Not sure how much is enough? Our agents can help you figure it out in minutes.

  • Is life insurance expensive?

    It doesn’t have to be! A healthy 30-year-old can get a $500,000 term life policy for less than the cost of a coffee per day. Premiums depend on your age, health, and the type of policy, but we’ll help you find an affordable option that fits your budget.

  • Do I need a medical exam to get life insurance?

    Not always! Some life insurance policies don’t require a medical exam, especially if you’re applying for a smaller policy or a simplified issue plan. For larger policies, insurers may ask for a quick health check-up, but we can help you find the best no-exam options if that’s a concern.

  • Can I get life insurance if I have health conditions?

    Yes! While certain health issues can affect your premium, there are many policies available for people with pre-existing conditions. The key is to work with an agency (like us!) that has access to multiple carriers, so we can find the best options for your specific situation.

  • What happens if I outlive my term life policy?

    If your term life insurance expires and you’re still alive (which is the goal, right?), you can often renew it, convert it to a whole life policy, or let it expire if you no longer need coverage. The good news? You had protection during the years your loved ones needed it most.

  • Will my beneficiaries have to pay taxes on my life insurance payout?

    Nope! In most cases, life insurance benefits are tax-free for your beneficiaries. They’ll receive the full payout without worrying about income tax deductions.

  • Can I change my life insurance policy later?

    Yes! Life insurance isn’t set in stone. If your financial situation changes—like getting married, having kids, or buying a house—you can adjust your coverage to match your needs. It’s always a good idea to review your policy every few years to make sure it still fits your life.
