What are the benefits of life insurance? There are many, but most of all, it is there to benefit your loved ones and beneficiaries after you are gone. The Jason Ridley Agency serving the city of Colleyville, TX would like to help you plan for the long term.

Before we talk about some of the benefits, let’s first mention the two main types of life insurance policies. These are term life insurance policies that have a specified time limit set either in years or when the policyholder reaches a certain age at which point it expires or is renewed. The second is a permanent life insurance policy. This type of policy has several variations, but it has death benefits plus savings.

Each has its benefits. A term life insurance policy is usually cheaper in the beginning and may offer the option to convert to a permanent life insurance policy. This is beneficial if you are on a tighter budget when you start with your policy. It does get more expensive as you get older or renew, but you do not need to go for another medical exam.

Permanent life insurance has the benefit of accumulating savings throughout the lifespan of the policy and has a guaranteed payout. It also allows loans against the cash value of the policy and the cash value is tax-deferred. This type of life insurance is more expensive in the beginning but flattens out eventually.

The best benefit of life insurance is knowing that, if you have structured your policy carefully and correctly, your beneficiaries will be cared for after your death. Speak to the Jason Ridley Agency today and secure your family’s future. Serving the city of Colleyville, TX.
