If you're thinking about buying life insurance, you may be asking yourself questions, such as "How much life insurance do I need?", "What is the best type of life insurance to have?" and "Which company should I buy from?" You're not alone. Purchasing insurance can feel overwhelming and the costs could vary.
We've put together six tips to help you make an informed decision when buying life insurance.
Most people decide to review or consider buying life insurance while they are single, getting married, having a baby, buying a home, opening a business, preparing for retirement or other significant life changing events. The decision to buy life insurance usually comes from a need to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of when you're no longer alive.
While you can select to purchase insurance on your own, we highly recommend you meet with a life licensed insurance advisor, who will complete a full analysis of your insurance needs. Sharing your financial goals with your advisor will assist them in helping you create the kind of legacy you want to leave for those you love.
Once your financial risks have been identified, an insurance advisor can assist you with selecting the right insurance product.
