Do you have enough life insurance?

Some people do not know how much if any, life insurance they have. Think about this. If you were to die unexpectedly today, would your family have enough money to cover their needs for the next few months? If not, it may be time to add more to your policy. Supplemental life insurance lets you do this. 

Know What You Have 
Many individuals need more life insurance. You have loans, credit card debt, and other costs. If you are providing financial support to others, the right coverage is necessary. Sometimes, standard policy limits simply do not offer enough coverage for policyholders.

It is first important to understand the type of coverage you have. Discuss options such as term life versus whole life insurance with your family. You may wish to purchase a whole life policy if you are young and healthy. It could help you borrow affordably later on, too. A term policy may be beneficial to cover a specific need, such as to pay off your mortgage. Depending on what you carry, you might or might not need supplemental coverage. 

The next step is to understand how much life insurance you have right now. Find out if you have any other life insurance. You may have coverage through a spouse. Perhaps you purchased a policy long ago. Gather records. Then, consider whether it is enough. Could it pay for your loved ones’ needs for a period of three to six months? Could it cover the mortgage? Is it enough to pay for your child’s college education? If you answer no to these questions, it might be time to get supplemental coverage. 

Adding More Protection 
Supplemental life insurance is simply an additional policy. Often, consumers add supplemental life insurance plans to existing plans provided by employers. It does not have to be hard to get. You can obtain it with the help of any licensed insurance agent. Discuss all of the options available to you.  

Don't forget to ask your employer about life insurance. Talk to your human resource manager. Find out if you have a policy. If so, how much coverage does it provide? You can ask your manager to increase this amount. If the company pays for it, that is an easy way to get coverage. Most often, that is not likely. 

Talk to your agent about your existing policy, and how to enhance it. He or she can help you determine the best way to add value to that policy without additional or any costs. Invest in this now. The sooner you do, the less it will cost.
