Be sure that you’re prepared when choosing the best life insurance for you, by asking yourself the following questions before making one of the most important decisions of your life.

Top 5 Questions to Ask About Life Insurance

1. What’s In My Medical History?
For the initial assessment of your life insurance, you’ll need your health records. Get all of the facts about the history of your health in order, and expect to be asked about it.

2. What Term Should I Have?
Term life insurance can sometimes make the process of purchasing life insurance a little less intimidating, due to how flexible, and affordable, it is. Term life insurance provides a straightforward death benefit protection, without cash value or investment component add-ons.

3. How Much Coverage Do I Need?
How much coverage that you need is a crucial question to answer. Typically, the industry benchmark lands at approximately 10 times your annual income, however, this number can vary depending on your circumstances. Imagine how much your family will need to make ends meet over the next 20-30 years, if your income would become unavailable.

4. Do I Have Debt and Dependents?
Your family’s financial security is one of the most important things to consider when choosing a life insurance policy. When making this decision, consider all outstanding debts such as your mortgage, and add that amount to your coverage as well. You’ll want enough life insurance to cover any large debts, and a little extra to give your family a bit to fall back on.
