Let’s take a look at what may need to happen if a stay at home spouse died. You can never put a price on a loved one. However, you can put a price on the work that person did while alive.

It has been said that the amount of money needed to employ someone 40 hours a week with benefits to clean, cook, do laundry, care for children and shop for food is way over $35,000 a year. Stay at home spouses work more than 40 hours a week and more than 5 days a week. They also have what most employees may not have, a true passion for doing the job with love and care.

After considering all the financial needs in the event of a stay at home spouse dying, and the care involving children, it is clear that burial costs are not the only thing required after a loved one dies. When that loved one is a caring, loving, stay at home spouse there are so many jobs that would be left undone without help and support.

Does a Stay at Home Spouse need Life Insurance? Absolutely yes! Stay at home spouses should be insured to protect from the ‘what- if’s’ in life.

I’m nervous about purchasing a Final Expense Life Insurance plan, please tell me what to expect at our appointment.

First and foremost your Life Insurance plan must address your particular situation, needs and budget. What you choose has to be affordable this month, next month and next year so your plan will remain in force to help your family or fulfill whatever purpose you have in mind.

We can meet at our office, your home or a local coffee shop. The key to the most affordable plans includes underwriting by the Insurance Companies. We will ask some simple health related questions, such as height, weight, smoker/non-smoker and current medications. This information is used to find the most affordable plan among many different Life Insurance Companies.

The plan must make sense, fit your budget and cover your needs. Once you are ready to proceed with the application, a short telephone interview is done and then you will receive disclosures and copies of your Life Insurance plan paperwork. Most of our clients admit that after the paperwork and interview is completed they have achieved peace of mind with their decision to purchase Life Insurance.

This is a membership group where you pay a fee every year to be a member. As a member they offer many things including products to members by other companies. The Group Term Life Insurance product in New York is offered to group members, I just want to point out that this Term Life Insurance is usually a branded product provided by a separate entity.

Group Term Life Insurance, unlike permanent Guaranteed Whole Life insurance, has a monthly premium rate that increases every five years in and will eventually disappear as you get older. It is not permanent. People that are looking to cover a certain need for a set number of years may be a candidate for this product. For a fee to join the a Group this may be a good deal for the short term.

For people that need a guaranteed premium, with a guaranteed death benefit that will be there when your loved ones need it most, Whole Life Insurance. It is permanent protection as opposed to protection that is only good until the term limit is reached.

We always recommend getting comparisons and having a local agent to explain the different types of life insurance and answer your questions.
