Got Life Insurance Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What is final expense life insurance?
It is a type of life insurance generally intended to help beneficiaries pay funeral costs, medical bills, debts, and other final expenses after the insured person dies.
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a selected period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It is often used to help protect income, a mortgage, children, or other financial responsibilities.
What is indexed universal life insurance?
Indexed universal life, commonly called IUL, is permanent life insurance that may build cash value based partly on the performance of a market index. It is not a direct investment in the index, and results depend on policy terms, caps, floors, charges, funding, and other factors. Derek can explain both guaranteed and non-guaranteed policy values.
Do I need a medical exam?
Many final expense policies do not require a medical exam, although health questions and eligibility requirements usually apply. The available options depend on your age, health, and carrier guidelines.
How much coverage should I consider?
The right amount depends on expected funeral costs, remaining bills or debts, your budget, and what you want to leave your family. Derek can help you think through those needs.
Can we handle the application by phone?
In many cases, yes. Derek can explain the process, review available options, and help you complete an application remotely when permitted by the carrier.
Am I obligated to purchase something after our call?
No. The first conversation is an opportunity to ask questions and understand your options. You decide whether and when to apply.
