Getting life insurance for your family is an expression of love that goes beyond words
Life insurance conversations are often difficult to start but very necessary to have within the family. Whether you need to talk to a parent or spouse, it’s important to find the time and space to have a candid conversation about what happens to your family and assets if you die. How much life insurance you may need? Who would be the beneficiaries? Is it better a term life insurance or a whole life insurance?
By starting a conversation about life insurance, it makes us confront our “favorite” topics as a result. Those topics may include, but not limited to:
- Death – it’s important to talk to your spouse about death. Even with children. Teens have a better overall grasp of death, even if they have no previous experience with it. They might feel more comfortable talking to their friends than sharing with parents; however, they still look to parents and other involved adults to validate their information.
- Finances – mixing family and money can be difficult and emotional, but it’s inevitable and highly important to have family finance talks.
- Taxes – the sooner you start talking to your family about taxes and other obligations the better for everyone, especially your children that will always look after you.
- Estate planning – the importance of estate planning cannot be overstated, including the risks and rewards associated with term and permanent life insurance policies and factors to consider in choosing the right policy.
- Debts – what happen to your debts if you die? Understanding what your life insurance policy covers is key to help protect your family’s future.
- Healthcare – having a discussion with your family about the differences between the different types of insurance. For instancde, health insurance covers a portion of medical expenses and doctor’s visits, while life insurance pays out a lump-sum death benefit upon premature death.
