Common questions
Understand
the basics.
General information to help you prepare for a conversation about your situation.
Where should I start with life insurance?
Begin with who depends on your income, your ongoing financial commitments, and the coverage you already have. A conversation with an insurance professional can help you compare options and understand costs before you apply.
What are living benefits?
Some life insurance policies include, or offer, riders that may let you access part of the death benefit after a qualifying illness. Conditions, charges, and eligibility vary. Using a benefit generally reduces what remains for beneficiaries.
How is an annuity different from life insurance?
Life insurance generally focuses on a benefit for beneficiaries after the insured person dies. Annuities are insurance contracts that can be used to provide income. Their features, costs, access to funds, and guarantees differ by contract.
What should I bring to an initial conversation?
Bring your questions, an idea of your monthly budget, and an overview of any existing coverage. Keep policy documents and sensitive information private until you have confirmed how to share them securely with the team.
