 LIFE INSURANCE
Defining
Your Individual Needs Is The Place To Start
[*Try Our Life

Life insurance is simply protection to
ensure that your family will have financial security when you die. If
something should happen to you, how will they be able to continue doing
the things they take for granted, like live in a nice home, continue their
education, or create a retirement nest egg without you? Life insurance
can help to provide the answer.
There are a
variety of life insurance policies we can provide. The kind of policy you
choose depends on your needs:
Term
Life
Term Life Insurance is a low-cost way of providing maximum
coverage for your family. Protection is provided for a limited number of
years. The insurance expires without value if the insured lives beyond the
policy period, usually 5 to 20 years. Other policy life periods are
available, including 1 year annual renewable term.
Term insurance premiums will not increase during the guaranteed policy
time period (term) you select. Term Life Insurance pays a death benefit
only if you die during that term. Term insurance generally provides the
largest insurance protection for your premium dollar.
Term Life Insurance remains in force for as long as
premiums are current, provided there are no misrepresentations on the
application. The insurance coverage terminates if you discontinue your
premium payments.
Universal
Life
Universal Life is characterized by great flexibility.
Policyholders can determine the amount and frequency of premium payments -
i.e., the more you pay, the less time you will need to pay. Your premiums
cover the insurance part also the savings or investment element and the
expense part. The stated interest on the investment portion changes along
with movement in interest rates; moves in 1/4 % interest steps are typical
as banks and other financial institutions make similar moves.
Whole
Life
Whole Life Insurance provides permanent protection for the
whole of life - from the date of policy issue to the date of the insured's
death, provided that premiums are paid. Premiums are set at the time of
policy issue and remain level for the policy's life. Unlike term
insurance, whole life combines insurance protection and savings or cash
value which builds over time. Cash value build-up may provide a source for
living benefits, for example, helping pay off a mortgage, or a child's
education, or cash surrender value if the policy is ever cancelled.

ANNUITIES
An annuity can help you
accumulate tax-deferred earnings as part of your overall retirement plan.
Annuities offer the opportunity for lifetime payments and tax-deferred
earnings, and provide a guaranteed death benefit for your beneficiaries.
All guarantees are backed by the continued claims-paying ability of the
issuing insurance company.
You may want to consider investing in an annuity as part of your long-term
financial plan if:
-
You're in a higher tax bracket, and want to defer additional income.
-
You've reached your deductible limit on all your retirement accounts and
wish to save more for retirement.
An annuity is different from most other retirement savings vehicles — it's
actually a contract between you and an insurance company. In return for
making one or more premium payments, the insurance company agrees to
provide you an income stream — usually during retirement. You can elect to
receive payment all at once or as a series of payments, even for the rest
of your life.
