Life Insurance & Family Protection

Protecting the people who depend on you


The short answer

Life insurance exists to make sure that if something happens to you, your family is protected — a surviving spouse keeps their income, debts are covered, and your plans for your children don’t fall apart.

Common types, briefly

  • Term life — coverage for a set number of years; often the simplest and least expensive way to cover a temporary need like a mortgage.
  • Permanent life — lifelong coverage that can build cash value over time.
  • Indexed Universal Life (IUL) — a form of permanent insurance whose cash value growth is linked to an index, with both limits and protections. It is often misunderstood and deserves a careful, honest explanation.

Protecting the surviving spouse

When one spouse passes away, household income can drop — one Social Security check may stop, and a pension may reduce or end. Planning ahead helps ensure the survivor isn’t left financially vulnerable during an already difficult time.
