LIFE INSURANCE
Protect the people who are counting on you.
Nobody plans to leave their family behind — but life doesn't always follow the plan. The right policy keeps your family's stability, income, and future intact, no matter what comes.
Security for you and your family
Life insurance protects your loved ones' futures. If you're no longer able to provide for your family, your policy's death benefit steps in — keeping their home, their lifestyle, and their plans on track.
More than a payout — benefits you can use while living
Today's life insurance does more than provide for your family later. If you experience a qualifying illness or injury, an Accelerated Benefits Rider (ABR) can let you access your death benefit while you're still living, at no additional cost. You may also qualify to access the benefit if you live well beyond expectations — using it for any purpose you choose.
Note: In Massachusetts, accessed proceeds must be applied to health-related expenses.
COMPARE COVERAGE
Not sure which plan fits? Here's a side-by-side.
Three common ways to protect your family. The best choice depends on your budget, your goals, and where you are in life — and you can often switch from term to permanent coverage later.
Term Life
Coverage for a set period — usually 10 to 40 years — at a fixed, budget-friendly rate. It's the most affordable way to protect your family with a death benefit during the years they depend on you most.
Not permanent, but flexible: you can convert to a lifelong plan whenever you're ready.
Universal Life
Permanent coverage with room to adjust. Universal life pairs a lifelong death benefit with a cash-value component and adjustable premiums, so your policy can flex as your needs and finances change over time.
A middle path between term's low cost and whole life's guarantees.
Whole Life
Coverage for your entire life with a guaranteed, tax-free death benefit and a fixed premium locked in from day one. It also builds cash value you can borrow against down the road.
Typically costs more, but delivers certainty for those who want lifelong protection.
TIMING
When should I get life insurance?
There's no single right moment — but every stage of life has its own reasons. Here's how coverage helps as your life changes.
01 Starting your career
You're at your healthiest, and coverage is at its most affordable. Lock in a low rate to:
- Set yourself up for long-term financial security
- Stay covered if you're ever between jobs
- Shield your family from inherited student debt
02 Growing your family
A new home, a newborn — you're carrying a lot. Coverage helps you:
- Keep your family financially stable if you pass away
- Ensure they can stay in their home
- Cover education costs or outstanding debts
- Leave your family tax-free funds
03 Raising your children
Your kids come first — and that's a big responsibility. Coverage can:
- Secure your children's futures
- Cover major costs like college
- Protect them financially if you pass away
- Start building your long-term financial plan
04 Nearing retirement
As retirement planning begins, coverage helps you:
- Replace income so your family can keep their lifestyle
- Protect loved ones from any debt you leave behind
- Cover medical or final expenses
- Leave an inheritance
05 Living in retirement
You've earned this chapter. Reassess how coverage can help you:
- Cover final expenses such as burial costs
- Tap backup funds by drawing on a policy's cash value
- Ease unexpected medical bills
- Leave a lasting legacy for your family
Coverage that shows up before it's needed most
A serious diagnosis shouldn't become a financial crisis. Living benefits let you access your policy during a qualifying illness or injury — so you can focus on recovery, not bills.
*In Massachusetts, accessed proceeds must be used toward health-related expenses.

After the period is over, coverage at the previous rate of premiums is no longer guaranteed, and the client must either waive their coverage or renew coverage with different benefits. If the policy holder dies during the term, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary. Overall, term life insurance is the least expensive way to get coverage, however it is for a set period of time.
