Common questions
What is the difference between term and whole life?
Term covers a set period and is usually used for income, mortgage, or child-raising years. Whole life is permanent coverage with cash value. The right fit depends on the job you need the policy to do.
Do I need a medical exam?
Maybe. Some policies use simplified underwriting or no-exam review. Larger coverage, certain ages, and health history can require more records or an exam.
What is final expense insurance?
It is a smaller life policy meant to help with funeral, burial, cremation, and last bills. It is not a full income replacement plan. The agent should be clear about that.
Can I get covered with health problems?
Often, yes, but the carrier and policy type matter. Be honest on the application. A policy issued from bad information can create problems for your family later.
Should I replace an old policy?
Do not cancel an old policy until the new one is approved and you understand what you are giving up. Replacement forms exist for a reason. Read them.
Can life insurance work with estate planning?
Yes. Beneficiaries, trusts, and ownership matter. For anything beyond a straightforward family policy, coordinate with an estate planning attorney and tax professional.
Is a life insurance agent licensed in Texas?
Yes. The agent should hold a Texas Department of Insurance life and health license and be appointed with the carrier offering the policy.
