Life Insurance in Bellingham, WA
Life insurance helps make sure the people who depend on you can keep their home, pay the bills and plan for the future if something happens to you. We help you figure out how much you need and which type fits your budget.
The main types of life insurance
Each type works differently. Here is the short version of each.
Term life
Coverage for a set period, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. Typically the most affordable way to get a large amount of coverage while your family depends on your income.
Whole life
Permanent coverage that lasts your lifetime as long as premiums are paid, and builds cash value (a savings component) over time.
Universal life
Permanent coverage with more flexibility in premiums and death benefit, depending on how the policy is set up.
Final expense
A smaller permanent policy meant to cover funeral costs and final bills.
Worth asking about
These are the questions we walk through with most families.
- How much you need. Common starting points include your income, mortgage, debts, childcare and future education costs.
- Coverage through work. Employer life insurance is often limited and may not stay with you if you change jobs.
- Beneficiaries. Make sure the people named on your policy are current after marriage, divorce or a new child.
- Health questions. Many policies ask health questions or require a medical exam, which can affect price.
