Three questions to help you prepare for a review.
Your answers stay in this browser and are not submitted.
UNDERSTAND THE INS & OUTS
Choose a topic for a plain-language explanation. The right choice depends on your goals, budget, and the actual policy contract.
MORTGAGE PROTECTION
Mortgage protection describes a coverage goal, rather than one standard policy. Life insurance can help loved ones handle a mortgage after a death. A term policy may match the years remaining on the loan; some policies have a decreasing benefit.
A family-focused policy can leave beneficiaries flexibility to use the benefit for housing or other needs.
Check who receives the money. Credit life insurance may pay the lender; other life insurance may pay your chosen beneficiaries. This is different from private mortgage insurance, which protects a lender against default.
Is the benefit level or decreasing? Who receives it? Does the coverage last as long as the mortgage?

TERM LIFE
Term life provides a death benefit for a defined period. It can fit temporary obligations such as raising children, replacing income, or paying off a mortgage. It generally does not build cash value.
A level-premium term can provide substantial protection for a budget during a specific stage of life.
Coverage can end before your need does. Renewal premiums may rise substantially after the level period, and buying a new policy can require fresh underwriting. Conversion rights have deadlines and conditions.
When do premiums change? Can I renew or convert, until what age, and at what cost?
Read more: NAIC consumer guide.
WHOLE LIFE
Traditional whole life is designed to last for life when required premiums are paid. It includes contractual death benefit and cash value guarantees; read the policy for its premium schedule.
It can support a permanent protection need with predictable contractual terms.
Premiums are generally higher than term for the same death benefit. Early cash values can be modest, so ending a policy early may return less than you paid. Dividends, when offered, are not guaranteed. Unpaid policy loans and interest reduce available values and the death benefit.
Which values are guaranteed? What would I receive if I cancel in years one, five, or ten?
Read more: NAIC life insurance overview.
FINAL EXPENSE
Final expense commonly refers to smaller whole life policies intended to help loved ones with funeral costs and other expenses. The beneficiary’s use of the proceeds depends on the arrangement; it is not automatically a prepaid funeral.
A manageable benefit may fit a smaller permanent coverage need.
Do not assume immediate full coverage. Some guaranteed-acceptance policies limit benefits for non-accidental death during an initial graded period. Other policies require health questions. Compare the benefit, waiting period, premium commitment, and how much you could pay over time.
Is full coverage immediate? What is paid during a waiting period? Are premiums and the death benefit guaranteed?
Read more: Carrier example of graded benefits (not a product recommendation).
BURIAL PLANS
“Burial plan” can mean life insurance or a prepaid funeral contract. Ask which one is being offered. A prepaid contract may fund specified services through a trust or assigned insurance.
Preplanning can document your wishes and make some decisions easier for family.
The contract may leave some items or price increases uncovered. Refunds and transfers can be limited or costly. Moving, changing funeral homes, or a provider closing can create problems; protections vary by state. Your family also needs to know the plan exists to avoid paying twice.
Exactly what is covered? Who holds the money? What happens if I move, cancel, or the funeral home closes?
Read more: FTC funeral preplanning guidance.
IUL: RISKS & COSTS
Indexed universal life is permanent insurance with interest crediting linked to an index under policy rules. It does not directly invest your cash value in that index. Caps, participation rates, and other limits affect credited interest.
It can offer flexible funding and cash value potential, but requires ongoing attention to the policy’s performance and funding.
Illustrations are not promises. An index-crediting floor does not stop policy charges from reducing cash value. Insurance and expense charges, surrender charges, and policy loans can erode values. If funding and values cannot support charges, coverage can lapse. Borrowing also affects the benefit available to your family.
Show the guaranteed and lower-return scenarios. What costs apply, and what funding would keep the policy active?

Talk with JeremyA NEW CHAPTER IN SERVICE

Education, exams, applications, background checks, and continuing education requirements vary by state. Confirm requirements with your state insurance department.
Ask about agency support, carrier appointments, compensation, chargebacks, lead sources, expenses, and whether the arrangement is employment or independent contracting.
Use the booking page and mention “career opportunity” in your booking notes, if available, or at the start of our call. Bring your state, licensing status, and questions.
