The Life and Health Insurance Foundation (LIFE), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping consumers make informed decisions about insurance has designated September as Life Insurance Awareness Month. Life insurance should be a necessary part of your family’s financial plan but unfortunately, up to 30 percent of US households have no life insurance whatsoever.*
Why is having life insurance so important? Ask yourself if your family could manage their financial needs without you. If the answer is no, then take a few moments to consider how life insurance could help ease the financial burden on them if you were suddenly not there to provide. While there are different types to choose from, most plans will pay your beneficiary a cash amount (called a death benefit) to take care of final expenses, burial costs, flowers, obituaries or any other cost they see fit. They may even choose to pay off lingering medical bills, tax debt or pay off the mortgage. It’s up to them.
After you’ve decided to purchase insurance, it’s important that you find a qualified and licensed insurance professional to help you pick a policy that best fits your needs. The LIFE foundation offers several helpful tools on their website that can help you figure out what kind of insurance you need, how much of it you need and what important questions to ask before purchasing an insurance product. Sentinel also has many licensed agents in your area and we have specialized in final expense insurance since 1948. Sentinel offers three whole life plans which upon qualifying, can accommodate you at every stage of your life, whether you are raising a family or enjoying retirement with your spouse.
