Coverage options for every stage of life
An honest look at the most common paths to coverage, so you can walk into a conversation already informed.
MOST POPULAR FOR YOUNG FAMILIES
Term Life Insurance
Term life provides coverage for a set period of time (typically 10, 20, or 30 years) at a lower cost than permanent coverage.
- Replacing income if something happens to you
- Protecting a mortgage or other major debt
- Parents with young children still at home
How it works
- Choose a term length that matches your goal.
- Lock in a level premium for that entire term.
- If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit, tax-free.
LIFELONG PROTECTION
Whole & Permanent Life Insurance
Whole life never expires as long as premiums are paid, and it builds cash value over time. It is a good fit for families who are thinking about legacy as well as a set period of coverage.
- Families who want coverage that never runs out
- Legacy or estate planning goals
- Building a cash value component alongside protection
How it works
- Coverage lasts your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid.
- Part of your premium builds cash value you may be able to borrow against.
- Premiums are generally level and predictable.
SIMPLIFIED & ACCESSIBLE
Final Expense / Burial Insurance
Smaller, simplified life insurance plans designed to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses.
- Older Texans looking for manageable, fixed coverage
- Those who want a simpler application process
- Covering funeral, burial, or medical costs specifically
How it works
- Coverage amounts are typically smaller and more affordable.
- Applications are often simplified, with fewer health questions.
- Beneficiaries receive a death benefit usable for any purpose.
HOMEOWNERS & NEW BUYERS
Mortgage Protection Insurance
Designed with one goal in mind: helping your family stay in the home you worked hard for, even if the unexpected happens.
- Recent homebuyers
- Families who want the mortgage specifically protected
- Homeowners without other life insurance in place
How it works
- Coverage is structured around your mortgage balance and timeline.
- The benefit can help your family pay off or keep up with the home.
- Can often be paired with term or whole life coverage.
PARENTS & GRANDPARENTS
Children’s Coverage
Juvenile life insurance locks in a small amount of permanent coverage for a child while they’re young, protecting future insurability no matter what health changes come later.
- Parents or grandparents wanting to plan early
- Guaranteeing a child can get coverage as an adult
- A low-cost, long-term gift for a child’s future
How it works
- Choose a modest coverage amount for your child or grandchild.
- Premiums stay low and are typically locked in while they’re young.
- Many policies allow conversion to a full adult policy later.
AFFORDABLE & FAST TO GET
Accidental Death Coverage
A low-cost way to add extra protection, paying an additional benefit if death occurs as the result of a covered accident.
- Anyone wanting extra protection at a low cost
- Supplementing an existing term or whole life policy
- Those who want simplified approval with little to no underwriting
How it works
- Apply with minimal underwriting, often with no medical exam.
- Coverage pays a benefit for death by covered accident.
- Can be added on top of existing coverage.
RETIREMENT & GUARANTEED INCOME
Annuities
Where life insurance protects your family if you pass too soon, an annuity protects you against outliving your own savings.
- Those approaching or in retirement wanting predictable income
- Supplementing Social Security or a pension
- Anyone concerned about outliving their savings
How it works
- Fund the annuity with a lump sum or a series of payments.
- Choose when payments to you begin.
- Receive guaranteed income for a set period, or for life.
GROWTH POTENTIAL WITH A SAFETY NET
Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
Permanent coverage where your cash value has the potential to grow based on a market index’s performance, with a built-in floor that protects you from down years.
- Those who want permanent coverage with growth potential
- Families comfortable with some flexibility in premiums
- Anyone who wants downside protection while still capturing market-linked gains
How it works
- Premiums fund a policy whose cash value is credited based on the performance of a market index, like the S&P 500.
- Gains are typically capped, but a guaranteed floor (often 0%) protects your cash value from market losses.
- Cash value can potentially be accessed later, and the death benefit passes to your beneficiaries income-tax-free.
