Does Emma offer term and whole life insurance?
- There are two categories of life insurance: term life insurance and whole life insurance. While term life insurance lasts only for a specific period, whole life insurance will always remain in force as long as the insurance premium is paid.
- Term life insurance is simpler to manoeuvre and less expensive: you pay a monthly or annual premium. Then, in the event of your death, a fixed amount is paid to your loved ones. Unlike whole life insurance, a term life insurance policy expires after a set period. Most people buy term life insurance because it’s less expensive and simpler.
- On the other hand, whole life insurance does not expire, and the amount of insurance can change over time. This type of life insurance is best suited for people with more complicated financial situations or estate planning needs.
Note that there are several different types of term and whole life insurance.
Who is Emma insurance for?
There are many different types of people who purchase a life insurance policy.
- Parents
As long as they are dependent on you, your children have many expenses. Having life insurance is about making sure they are never left alone before they need to be. - Married couples
Being legally married also means choosing to share finances and financial problems in the event of an unexpected death. - Homeowners
Having a home often means having a large mortgage. Since this is the most expensive debt for most people, it’s a good idea to protect yourself with life insurance that will last at least as long as your mortgage. - Students
Student debt leaves loved ones in a quandary. You’re never too young to protect yourself. - Business owners
Like married couples, being in business is a financial union. Many entrepreneurs have life insurance to ensure that their business will continue, no matter what happens.
Whatever your situation, there is a life insurance product that suits your needs. Even if you don’t think you’ll leave anyone in the lurch in the event of your death, there are ways to make your life insurance benefit a foundation or museum, for example.
