Life Insurance, Not Just Important, Vital

Being in the insurance business this long, we’ve heard every misconception that our clients and consumers can have when it comes to the facts about life insurance products. These misunderstandings include what each product does, how they should be used, and the best decisions to make when purchasing a product. However, the most important fact everyone should know is: having a life insurance policy is vital to a good quality of life now, after we’ve left this earth, and apart of a strong financial portfolio.

Because concepts like living our life, how we take care of our personal health, and dying are main subjects of discussion, it can be difficult for people to think clearly about how they will protect themselves with a life insurance policy or if they can afford one at all. Insuraty is dedicated to educating consumers and helping them to see the best route forward in their lives in regards to purchasing a life insurance policy.

Here are 5 common misunderstandings about securing a life insurance policy today:

  • My loved ones will be inheriting other assets when I pass, I don’t need a life insurance policy….
    • You may be planning to pass on a variety of assets to your loved ones when you pass like that vintage Porsche sitting in the garage, your house, or other family heirlooms. However, depending on the assets, many are taxable when they are passed from the deceased to a family member. Life insurance policies can be used to help pay the cost of these taxes and ensure you are giving your family exactly what you intended. Life insurance policies Generally speaking, when the beneficiary of a life insurance policy receives the death benefit, this money is not counted as taxable income, and the beneficiary does not have to pay taxes on it. However, a few situations exist in which the beneficiary is taxed on some or all of a policy’s proceeds.
  • I plan to pass on my personal business to my family when I die….
    • If you own a personal business, or part of one in a relationship with one or more owners it is vital that you secure a life insurance policy. You may think that your company holds X amount of value, but there are often a variety of un-seen costs to maintaining and growing a business. Your family members may not have the ability to maintain your business  while also coping with your loss. Additionally, by having a life insurance policy when multiple owners are involved, this gives your beneficiary the financial freedom to do what is right with your share, and even potentially buy other owners out, etc.
  • I have plenty of investments….
    • The common sage advice regarding investing is diversify, diversify, diversify! It is not that strange to think that a life insurance policy is just another vehicle to do just that. When you understand the products you are looking at and how they can be accessed, using a life insurance policy can actually be a smart tool to add to your investment game and reach your intended portfolio!
