What is the best thing you can do for those you love? Some people will say, having life insurance. It certainly is important, and if you are thinking only of the death benefit, it can be crucial to making sure your loved ones are provided for. Life insurance can also be part of long-term financial planning.  At Highpoint Insurance Group in Dadeville, AL, we have been in business since 1992. We are dedicated to finding solutions for all of our customer’s insurance problems.

Do you have to choose a family member as a beneficiary?

In most states, you can name anyone you want as a beneficiary. Only community property is the exception. Since Alabama is not a community property state, you can name anyone you want to be the beneficiary.

What to do if you can’t make a premium payment?

The first thing to do is to contact your insurance carrier. Explain the situation. Most will be understanding and allow you some grace. Depending on the type of insurance, you may use the cash value to pay the premium. 

Is it necessary to buy life insurance if I get some from work?

It may not be necessary to buy additional life insurance if you get some from work, but it is a good idea. If you change positions, you may not be able to take life insurance with you, and that could leave you unprotected. 

Determining how much life insurance is enough? 

Consider your dependents and how long they need you to provide for them. Multiply your yearly income by the number of years, and you will have a reasonable figure to begin with. Other things figure in, but with this amount, you have a base.
