It’s time for your life insurance check-up.

September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month, so it’s a great time to review your coverage. If you don’t have life insurance, you’re not alone. We purchase things like auto and home insurance and hope we never have to use them. Life insurance is different.
There are numerous options when it comes to life insurance: whole life, term, and variable, to name a few. But what are the differences? How do you choose? The differences between policy types may be significant. So, which is right for you? There are many factors to contemplate when deciding what type of life insurance will best suit your needs. If you haven’t reviewed your insurance lately, or don’t think you need life insurance, consider the following potential life factors:
You are married and your spouse depends on your income
You have children
You have an aging parent or disabled relative who depends on you for support
Your retirement savings and pension won’t be enough for your spouse to live on
You have a large estate and expect your heirs will owe estate taxes
You own a business, especially if you have a partner
You have a substantial joint financial obligation, such as a personal loan for which another person would be legally responsible after your death
If your circumstances match with any of the items above, or you anticipate a change, you may have a need for life insurance or to update your current coverage.
Life insurance is a way to financially protect your loved ones after you die. In each of these cases, the proceeds from a life insurance policy may help them manage finances as they adjust to life without your income. The proceeds may also be used to meet funeral and other final expenses, which may run into thousands of dollars
