Life Insurance
Life insurance is a contract between an insurance company (the "insurer") and you (the "insured").
This contract promises to pay a person you choose (your "beneficiary") a sum of money, income tax-free, when you die.
In return, you pay premiums to the insurer. Life insurance can also help aid in the transfer of your wealth or for estate planning purposes.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Depending on your situation, i.e., your age, health condition, family situation,
and financial assets, you may want to consider Long-Term Care insurance. This insurance covers many of the
expenses associated with long-term care and ease the burden on your family, protects your assets, or preserves your assets for your heirs.

Types of Life Insurance
There are two general types of life insurance:
Term Insurance- You purchase protection (the "death benefit") for a fixed dollar amount
for which you pay a fixed cost every month. You are protected for the "term" of your policy, which could be
up to 20 years. If you die during that time period, the death benefit is paid to your beneficiaries tax-free.
Term insurance doesn't allow you to build-up cash-value, so it's usually the least expensive type of insurance you can buy.
Permanent Insurance - Just like term insurance, when you buy permanent insurance,
you choose the amount of protection to buy. Unlike term, however, permanent insurance allows you to
build-up cash-value that earns interest tax-deferred. There are many types of permanent insurance, but,
unlike term insurance, all of them guarantee that you stay protected as long as you pay your insurance premiums.
Some types of permanent insurance have a fixed-cost for your lifetime, others have premiums that can change.
The following are some of the more popular types of permanent insurance:
- Whole Life
- Universal Life
- Variable Life
- Variable Universal Life
