We bought a home

A mortgage is usually the largest debt a family carries. If coverage doesn't at least match the balance, the surviving spouse may face a choice between the house and everything else.

How mortgage protection works

I changed or lost my job

Life insurance through work usually ends with the job. A gap between employers — or a new plan with a smaller benefit — can leave a family less protected than they realize.

Why job coverage isn't enough

Planning for final expenses

Funerals and final bills commonly run well into five figures. A small, permanent policy keeps those costs off your children's credit cards.

How we estimate: Need = income × years + mortgage + other debts + (children × $50,000) + $15,000 final expenses. Gap = need − job coverage − personal coverage (never below $0). Not a quote or an offer of coverage; premiums depend on underwriting.

Questions families ask

How much life insurance do I need?

A common starting point is about 10 times your yearly income, plus your mortgage, debts and future costs like college. The Coverage Check above gives you a quick estimate; on your intro call we tailor it to your family.

Is coverage through work enough?

Usually not. Many employer plans pay one to two times salary, and the coverage typically ends when you leave the job. A personally owned policy stays with you.

Can I insure my parents?

Often, yes, with their consent and participation. Final expense and small permanent policies are common options for older parents, depending on age and health.

What if I have health problems?

Many managed conditions — diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and more — can still qualify. Pricing depends on the carrier and your history, which is why comparing carriers matters.

Do I need a medical exam?

Not always. Several carriers offer no-exam options for many applicants, depending on age, health and the coverage amount.
