Why You Might Need Term Life Insurance after Retirement

Your reasons for buying a policy at this stage of your life could vary and be for different purposes. Term life insurance policies are the least expensive type of life insurance you can buy, but we also offer policies that will extend coverage later into life for pension maximization, estate planning, or to leave an inheritance.

You might also know that these types of life insurance policies pay the death benefits only. The amount of coverage you need and the term, or how long need the coverage for, can also be a very critical decision.

You might want to ensure your spouse has a comfortable form of income after you’re gone. Or you might need life insurance because you still have outstanding debts and you want the insurance to cover what you owe so your family isn’t burdened. We also work with clients to help them get the most from their pension, also known as pension maximization.

Pension maximization planning allows a retiree to take their full pension each month while ensuring that their spouse has money to live on if something happens to them. For most of our clients, this can save you thousands of dollars each year.

Or, perhaps you have health concerns and are worried that your health planwon’t provide enough coverage.

We also help clients who need coverage to provide money to their family for funeral expenses and to have a little left over to cover a few small debts or expenses.

What If I Need Life Insurance Coverage for Longer the Options Listed?

The majority of term life insurance policies are designed to end before you reach the age of 80, but if you need coverage later into life, you still have affordable options with guaranteed level premiums called Guaranteed Universal Life Insurance or a GUL.

These policies work just like a term life insurance policy and they offer guaranteed rates and coverage until the age of 90 or later. Also referred to as term-to-90, term-to-95, or term-to-100. These polices do not require additional premiums to build a cash value, you pay for the cost of the insurance only, so you do not have to worry about your rates increasing as you get older.

Your rates are locked in until the age of your choice, but instead of being guaranteed for 10, 15, or 20 years, your coverage and rates are guaranteed until the age of 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, or even 121, making these policies ideal for leaving an inheritance or funding a trust for estate planning.

In some cases, depending on your health, you may actually save money by buying a policy with a few extra years of coverage. Here are some sample quotes for $100,000 of coverage until age 90 or later. If you need additional coverage, please feel free to call or email us and one of our agents will be happy to help. Give us a call, Toll Free: 855-247-9555.
