You might not spend a lot of time thinking about how your loved ones will cope financially after your death. However, if you buy life insurance as a younger, healthier person, your policy will have lower rates than if you wait until you're older to buy. When it comes to life insurance, the longer you put off purchasing a policy, the more you can expect to pay for it. Having a Massachusetts life insurance policy may not seem necessary to you now, but if you have loved ones who depend on you, a policy has the potential to save them from financial hardships in the event of a sudden tragedy.

When considering a life insurance policy, there are questions you need to ask yourself. If you are married, would your spouse be able to cope financially without your income? If you have children, would there be enough money available to provide for their basic needs? Would they be able to afford to go to college? These are not easy things to think about but are important nonetheless.

A Massachusetts life insurance policy can provide your family with the funds needed for your final expenses and, depending on how much coverage you purchase, may provide the means for your loved ones to maintain a high standard of living for years to come. Some policies even allow you to collect a sum of money that you can use if you are faced with financial hardship while you are still living.

The Different Types of Massachusetts Life Insurance

There are different types of life insurance policies from which you can choose. Each has its pros and cons. Which policy is best for you is dependent on your personal situation, finances, and preferences.

• Term life insurance: Term life is purchased for a given time frame, or term, that usually ranges from 10 to 30 years. When the term is up, the policy is no longer effective. These policies are the least expensive option and provide coverage during the years that it is needed most.
• Whole life insurance: Whole life is one type of permanent life insurance, which means it does not expire. Your policy and rate will stay in effect for as long as you continue to pay your premiums. Your policy can build up equity that can be cashed in at any time or saved up to support your loved ones following your death. These policies are the most expensive option but offer the highest level of benefits.
• Universal life insurance: Universal life is a more flexible permanent life insurance policy. Like whole life, it accrues a cash value. You can access your accrued money in the form of low-interest loans. You can even use your accumulated earnings to cover your premium costs when necessary. These policies are more expensive than term life but less expensive than whole life.
