Why should you choose Life Insurance?

Life Insurance guarantees tax-free death benefit payments to your estate in the unfortunate event of the policyholder passing away. Alongside, there are several other reasons why you should get Life Insurance.

• Life Insurance can protect your family from any financial crisis

• You leave a completely tax-free inheritance to your dear ones or beneficiaries

• Life Insurance can pay for your funeral expenses

• You can clear your debts and loans with Life Insurance

The Right Time to go for a Life Insurance

You never want to think about your death, and it’s complicated to do that. However, you should think about how your death would affect your loved ones. Even when you are not there to financially support your family, they will still have to pay the mortgage payments and clear your loans and monthly credit card bills. In your absence, the insurance companycan take care of that and, not to mention, offer coverage for your funeral expenses as well. It will take that load off your family members and give your family member the time to grieve.

Always keep in mind that you are never too young to obtain insurance. On the bright side, the younger and healthier you are, the lower can be the cost of your monthly premiums.

Term Life Insurance

As the name says, the policy offers coverage for a pre-determined period helping your dear ones to relieve some of their economic burden in the event of your death. The pay-out is entirely tax-free, and the amount is transferred immediately to your beneficiaries.

Term Life Insurance can be the perfect solution if you have young children dependant on you and a limited budget. It is also a good policy to choose if you have loans that you need to pay off quickly and have mortgage payments to cover.

The policy offers simple and affordable coverage for a fixed duration while keeping the premiums at the lower side and providing a top-grade financial safety net if you (the policyholder) pass away. The term can range between 10-40 years, and the premiums will remain the same throughout. As the policy expiry date nears, you will have the option to renew it, or you can also choose a different type of policy that would better suit your financial requirements.

Why should you buy Life Insurance?

One of the major benefits of taking out a life insurance policy is its death benefits. If you have opted for life insurance when you pass away, your beneficiaries will get a non-taxable amount which can help in averting financial crisis. The policy also offers coverage for mortgage repayments and personal loans and it remains active even when you’re retired and no longer insured by your employer. The insurance also acts as an alternate source of income when resources are low and you can still maintain your lifestyle.

Choosing the ideal plan

Choosing the right policy for yourself and your family can be a challenging task. If you want to choose the correct policy, you will have to ask yourself about your financial needs and then opt for a product that not only meets them but also the monthly premium for the product would be within your budget. Particularly, three main questions can help you figure out what type of insurance would be perfect for you.

Family and work: the important criteria:

Several factors will affect your choice for insurance, these would generally be:

• The financial situation in your family

• Your health

• Whether you’re self-employed or work on a contract or the owner

• Whether you’re single or in a relationship

All of these factors will have a direct impact on your insurance coverage as well as the premium you pay. In an emergency situation, you can apply for a claim and the insurance company can take care of it. It can be anything from not being able to pay off your debts and loans to you (the policyholder) passing away in which case your funeral expenses will be covered. The insurance company will also take care of the expenses of your children’s needs. By taking up insurance, you would be protecting your family’s financial future. Coming to your professional life, life insurance is an effective tool that can save your business from any type of financial disaster and thereby protecting your loved one’s financial security as well. With life you never know what can happen, one day you’re hitting your marks and the next day everything can go for a toss. This goes the same for your business; suppose your business partner passes away leaving the reigns of everyday operations to your hands. Will you have the funds to run it on your own or will you close shop? If you have insurance, you will not have to worry about this at all. The company will cover your losses and help you continue with your everyday ops.

Your life goals:

As you grow in your life, you will set some professional and personal aspirations that you would want to achieve. You may want to have a higher income, raise a family, retire early and then enjoy your golden years. If you take up life insurance, it can help you be less worried about your present so you can focus more on your financial dreams.

The types of coverage:

ill now you have thought about your financial needs, what you need to achieve in life, now you have to figure out what type of life insurance would be best for you.

Maybe a short-term coverage would be more beneficial than long-term coverage for you. Or maybe you want coverage that generates surrender value and liquidity that can make it easier for you to achieve your financial goals.

Once you have the answers to all the three questions above, you will have all the necessary information to choose a specific life insurance policy that meets your needs.

Alternatively, you can hire one of our financial security advisors who can list out all your requirements and advise you on what type of insurance would be ideal for you.

However, in the end, you’re the best judge of what type of policy meets your budget and your needs. Over the years, you and your family's needs may evolve and you will be looking for a policy that can adapt to your requirements. If not, you will always have the option to change the type of insurance accordingly to ensure you’re completely covered.

No matter how young you’re, you can apply for life insurance. If you’re applying at a young age, the premium would also be on the lower side. So what are still waiting for, apply today, you can speak with our financial advisor and get a start on the process.
