Frequently Asked Questions About Massachusetts Life Insurance
What is life insurance and why do I need it?
Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones if something happens to you. It can help cover funeral expenses, replace lost income, pay off debts, or fund future needs like college tuition.
If you have dependents—or simply want peace of mind—life insurance is a smart investment. Contact our office and we’ll help you find the right policy.
What are the main types of life insurance?
The two most common types are:
- Term Life Insurance: Coverage for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years). Typically more affordable.
- Permanent Life Insurance: Lifelong coverage with a cash value component. Includes whole life and universal life.
Not sure which is right for you? Reach out to us—we’ll walk you through your options.
How much life insurance coverage do I need?
It depends on your income, debts, and future financial goals. A common rule of thumb is 7–10 times your annual income, but the right amount is unique to your family’s situation.
We’ll help you calculate the right coverage—contact us for a personalized review.
Is life insurance expensive?
Not necessarily. Term life policies can cost as little as a dollar or two per day, depending on your age, health, and coverage amount. Permanent policies are more expensive but offer lifelong benefits and cash value growth.
Call us—we’ll shop policies to find coverage that fits your budget.
Can I get life insurance if I have health issues?
Yes. While your health may affect the cost, many insurers offer policies for people with medical conditions. There are also no-exam policies available in some cases.
Don’t assume you can’t qualify—contact us and we’ll help find the best options for your situation.
What’s the difference between term and whole life insurance?
- Term Life: Affordable coverage for a set time (often 10–30 years). Pays a benefit only if you pass away during the term.
- Whole Life: Coverage that lasts your entire life, with guaranteed cash value growth that you can borrow against.
Both have advantages. Contact our team so we can help determine which fits your goals.
Does life insurance through my employer provide enough coverage?
Employer-provided coverage is a great benefit, but it’s often limited to 1–2 times your salary—far below what most families need. Plus, it usually ends if you leave your job.
That’s why many people add personal coverage. Call us—we’ll help you layer your protection properly.
How does life insurance build cash value?
Certain permanent policies (like whole life or universal life) build cash value over time, which you can borrow against, withdraw, or use to pay premiums. This feature makes life insurance a tool for both protection and long-term financial planning.
Want to explore cash value options? Reach out to us and we’ll show you how it works.
Who should I name as my life insurance beneficiary?
You can name anyone: a spouse, children, other family members, or even a trust. The most important thing is to keep your beneficiary designations up to date, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or having children.
Need help reviewing yours? Contact us—we’ll guide you through it.
How do I apply for or update a life insurance policy?
Applying is simple:
- Fill out an application (we’ll help with this)
- Complete a medical exam, if required
- Get approved and set your coverage in place
If you already have coverage, you can update it anytime. Call our office first—we’ll help with applications, updates, or reviews to make sure your policy keeps up with your life.
