The basics
Here are some of the most common questions about the value of life insurance and how it fits into your overall financial plan.
Life insurance & retirement
Most people don't need life insurance forever, but as you approach retirement, it can help provide for your dependents. Meanwhile, a life insurance retirement plan (LIRP) can supplement your retirement funds.
Life insurance & estate planning
An estate plan is a collection of legal documents that designates who receives your assets when you die. If you own a life insurance policy, it’s smart to factor it into your estate plan with the help of a licensed attorney or financial professional.
