WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
6 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN GETTING LIFE INSURANCE
WHAT COVERAGE AMOUNT DO I ACTUALLY NEED?
Think about who depends on your income and for how long. Add up big items like your mortgage balance, other debts, years of income you’d want to replace, and future goals such as college costs. A quick rule of thumb is 10–15× your annual income, but your numbers may push that higher or lower. If the full amount feels expensive, consider starting with a solid baseline and increasing later as your budget allows.
SHOULD I CHOOSE TERM OR WHOLE LIFE?
Term life is usually the best value for most families—it’s affordable and covers you for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years) while kids grow up and debts shrink. Whole life (or other permanent policies) lasts your entire life and builds cash value, but it costs a lot more for the same death benefit. Permanent coverage can make sense for lifelong needs, estate planning, or if you’ve maxed out other tax-advantaged savings and want guarantees. If you’re unsure, get a term quote first and ask about a conversion option later.
HOW LONG SHOULD MY TERM BE?
Match the term to your biggest time-based risks. If you have a 28-year mortgage and a toddler, a 30-year term may carry you past both. If your debts end sooner, a 20-year term might be enough and usually costs less. Some people “ladder” multiple policies with different end dates to cover changing needs without overpaying.
WHICH RIDERS ARE WORTH ADDING?
Useful riders to ask about include a waiver of premium (keeps your policy if you become disabled), accelerated death benefit (access a portion of the benefit if you’re terminally ill), and a child rider (small coverage for children). A term conversion rider lets you switch part or all of your term policy to permanent later without new medical underwriting—handy if health changes. Skip riders that don’t match a real need; each one adds cost. Have your agent show the price and benefit of each rider in dollars, not just buzzwords.
HOW WILL MY HEALTH, JOB, AND HOBBIES AFFECT MY RATE?
Insurers look at age, medical history, medications, build (height/weight), blood pressure, cholesterol, and nicotine use. Your driving record, dangerous occupations, and hobbies like skydiving or scuba can also move the price. You’ll usually get the best rate if you can show recent checkups and stable health; quitting nicotine for 12 months can make a big difference. If you hate exams, no-exam options exist, but they may cost more or cap the benefit.
HOW SHOULD I SET UP BENEFICIARIES AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A PAYMENT?
Name a primary and a contingent (backup) beneficiary, and keep them updated after life events like marriage, divorce, or a new baby. If you want control over how funds are used for minors, consider a trust and talk with a professional about the details. Most policies include a grace period if you miss a payment, but if it lapses you may need to re-qualify or pay back premiums to reinstate. Before replacing an old policy, make sure the new one is approved and in force so you’re never uncovered.
