Life insurance

You can’t predict the future – but you can help protect your family in the event of an untimely death. Life insurance* provides the finances your family needs, for things like everyday bills, child care, income for your spouse, and funeral expenses, to name a few. Life insurance can also help ensure a business continues to run if an owner dies.

Term life policies

These policies are ideal for individuals or families who need life insurance coverage for a specified number of years. Term life insurance premiums are economical, stable and guaranteed. And if your needs change, you can change to universal life, as long as you do so within the time frame outlined in your policy. 

Whole life policies

These policies are designed to last your lifetime. They have a fixed premium, meaning you pay the same amount each year for your coverage. Whole life policies also have the potential to accumulate cash value over time, creating an amount that you may be able to borrow against. Whole life insurance might be a good choice if you want premiums that stay the same for the life of the policy, cash value accumulation that you can use while you're still alive and protection that you can't outlive as long as your required premium payments are made.

Universal life policies

Universal life insurance is similar to whole life, in that it is designed to last your lifetime. It offers more flexibility, however – allowing you to skip a payment or change your death benefit. Plus, the interest you earn accumulates on a tax-deferred basis. Universal life policies give you necessary death benefit protection while offering flexibility to help plan for current and future needs.

What else can life insurance do?
