Life insurance
Coverage for the people and obligations that depend on you
Life insurance is a tool for a specific job: making sure the people who rely on your income and presence are financially protected if you're gone. The right policy depends on what that job looks like in your life.
What life insurance can help address
- Replacing income for a spouse, children, or others who depend on your earnings.
- Protecting a spouse or children through the years they're most financially vulnerable.
- Helping cover a mortgage or debt so obligations don't transfer to your family as burdens.
- Leaving money to family — an inheritance, an equalizer between heirs, or a safety net.
- Creating longer-term financial protection that doesn't depend on staying at one employer.
If you have coverage through work, it's worth understanding what it actually provides and what happens to it if your employment changes. That's a conversation Andre has often.
Term vs. permanent coverage
Term life insurance covers you for a set period — often 10 to 30 years — and is generally the most affordable way to buy a given amount of protection during the years your family relies on your income.
Permanent life insurance is designed to remain in force for your lifetime, subject to the policy's terms and required premiums. Some permanent policies include a cash value component with both guaranteed and non-guaranteed elements, which vary by policy and carrier.
Neither is universally better. Depending on your goals, budget, and time horizon, term or permanent life insurance may be appropriate. Andre will explain the differences and help you evaluate the available options.
How the process works
You start by completing the short coverage form or scheduling a conversation. Andre will discuss your goals, current coverage, budget, and health considerations, then walk you through appropriate policy options — including features, cost, underwriting requirements, limitations, and tradeoffs. If you decide to apply, he'll help you through the carrier's application process. Coverage is always subject to the carrier's underwriting and approval.
