Life
Life insurance is not a one plan fits all scenario. There are quite a few different options, premiums and benefit payouts to choose from. The option that is best for you? Well, that too may change as life situations and overall goals change. Mt. Carroll Insurance will help you navigate the many options and guide you to the best plan and benefit levels to protect the financial future of those you love.
Do I need life insurance?
If someone relies on you and your income (and you don’t have enough savings), you definitely need life insurance. But there are also many other reasons to purchase a life insurance policy. This could include:
- You want to use your life insurance to pay off your mortgage if something happens to you.
- You need a life insurance policy to replace your income and help support surviving family members.
- You want your life insurance policy to cover any final expenses, so it isn’t a hardship on your family.
- You want a life insurance policy to help with estate planning and increase the amount that will be left to your family members.
- You want to make a charitable gift with your life insurance payout.
