Life Insurance

Regardless of your age or walk in life, you should consider whether you need a life insurance policy. Although you are never required to have life insurance in Maryland, many people choose to be covered.

If you were to die, would your family members struggle to pay your final expenses? Are you leaving behind co-signed debts that the co-signer would have a hard time paying? Would your family have a hard time maintaining their standard of living without your income and household responsibilities? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you should consider getting a life insurance policy.

Types of Life Insurance

Term life insurance covers you for a specific term, usually between 10 and 30 years, as long as you pay the premiums as agreed. Once that term is over, the premiums can increase significantly, and in some cases you can be denied coverage because of your health at that time.

Permanent life insurance includes policies like whole life insurance, universal life insurance, and variable universal life insurance. These policies cover you indefinitely, and they often include a cash savings and investment component as well. Because of this, the premiums on permanent life insurance tend to be higher than those on term life insurance.
