Life insurance provides you with coverage and a monetary benefit to your beneficiary named in the policy upon your death. The beneficiary usually is your spouse or child.

You pay monthly premiums to the insurer. The insurance company bases your premium on a combination of factors:

• your age at the time of policy purchase
• your gender
• medical history
• the value of the policy purchased

Types of Life Insurance

Discuss what type of life insurance best suits your needs with a representative from Alloy Insurance Partners of Dallas, TX. The essential question is term or perm?

Term policies provide coverage for a specific number of years. Policies range from one to 20 years in length, generally. The coverage remains active while you pay the premiums. Term policies do not accumulate cash value. Permanent policies do not expire as long as you pay the premiums. They can amass a cash value. You can borrow against some policies.

Reasons for Life Insurance Coverage

Many people think of life insurance only as a means to pay for their funeral expenses, but it provides for so much more. You can obtain coverage in the amount needed to cover any of a number of expenses, including:

• paying off the home loan
• paying for your child or children’s education
• income replacement for your earnings
• means to pay medical bills
