Life insurance is an essential part of any financial program.
A variety of policies and limits can be used to pay off a mortgage, cover future education expenses, fund a business buy-sell agreement and more. The type of policy and limits you need will depend on your financial goals.
Many financial planners consider Life Insurance to be the cornerstone of sound financial planning. Liveoak Agency, Inc. can help match your financial goals with the right type and amount of life insurance at a price that works for you.
Generally speaking, life insurance works like other insurance policies. The insured pays an agreed upon premium, and the insurer makes a payout based on the terms set in the policy. In the case of life insurance, the insurance company provides a lump-sum payment, called a death benefit, to the named beneficiaries upon the insured’s death.
Can Anyone Get Life Insurance?
Practically anyone, at any age, can get a life insurance policy. However, not everyone is guaranteed the same premium or amount of coverage. Like any other type of insurance, insurers use a rating system to determine your premium payments. Factors such as tobacco use, family medical history, and lifestyle can affect your rate class.
