29 Tips For Buying Life Insurance
3- A life insurance policy can provide your family
with financial security when you pass away,
whether thats tomorrow or many years from now.
There are many options available, but buying the
best life insurance in California requires some
careful consideration on your part. These tips
will help you choose the right policy at the
right price so you can put your mind at ease,
knowing your family will be taken care of after
youre gone. - Top Ten
- The type of life insurance you should buy depends
on many factorsyour age, your familys
situation, whether you have dependents who are
financially dependent on you, and so on. But
these are some general tips to keep in mind. The
cost of life insurance is relatively small
compared to what it can provide for your loved
ones, but that doesnt mean it has to be an
intimidating purchase. The following tips will
help take some of that edge off buying life
insurance
41 Check your health
- If youre going to buy life insurance, its a
good idea to make sure youre in decent health.
This way, if you do pass away, your beneficiaries
will be able to collect. If not, they may have a
tough time claiming your policy. If possible, go
through an extensive medical checkup and ask your
doctor or nurse practitioner to fill out a
questionnaire regarding your personal health
history and current condition. If that seems too
invasive, consider simply getting blood tests
done at a reputable clinicthey can reveal much
of what is going on with our body without being
too pushy.
2 Consider your family's needs
- The most important thing you can do when choosing
life insurance is to consider your familys
future. If youre a single parent, choose a
policy that will allow your kids to go to college
and help them buy a home. If other dependents
rely on you, be sure that theyll have money
available if something happens to you. In
addition, dont forget about funeral costs and
any debts you might leave behind. When
determining how much coverage you need, think
about how things would change if you werent
around anymore. How would it affect your family?
Could they make ends meet without an income? Have
trouble answering these questions? Consider
consulting with a financial planner or an estate
attorney. Be sure to read our complete guide for

53 Know all your options
- If youre in your 20s or 30s, buy term life
insurance. Its cheap, it wont break your
budget, and you can get plenty of coverage
without paying too much. It doesnt build cash
value like permanent life insurance in
California(like whole or universal life), but
that means it wont be tempting to cash out
either better to keep all your money invested
where it belongsin building wealth.
4 Compare rates
- To ensure youre getting a good deal
- Compare at least three life insurance quotes from
different companies. - Look at fees, coverage amount, and rates to see
if they are within your budget. - Make sure you know exactly what is covered in
each policy before you buy it. - Speak with an expert before making any decisions
if you have questions about which type of policy
is best for your situation or need help comparing
different policies. You should also find out how
long until coverage takes effect. - Once that happens, it may be hard to cancel the
policy, so its essential to think about whether
or not you would need life insurance when your
children are much older than they are now.
65 Spend some time on research
- Its essential to take your time and find an
excellent policy. We recommend spending at least
three monthspossibly longerresearching policies
and taking notes on what you like and dont like
about each one. You should also make sure to talk
with multiple insurance agents. Agents work for
companies, not you, so its important to compare
prices and policies carefully before buying.
6 Get opinions from friends and family
- Buy life insurance in California from a company
or agent you trust. Some people think of life
insurance agents as pushy salespeople, but they
can be valuable sources of information and
guidance on how to get exactly what you need. If
someone tries to sell you an overpriced policy
right away, move on to another agent or company.
77 Avoid agents trying to sell you overpriced
policies right away
- When it comes to buying life insurance, you want
to make sure youre getting a policy that covers
your loved ones and is affordable. Unfortunately,
many people end up paying too much money (and
receiving inadequate coverage) when they go with
an agent whos simply trying to sell them
anything. Here are ten tips to help you avoid
falling into one of these traps - Research several policies before sitting down
with an agent - Find out if your employer offers a plan
- Get quotes from different agents
- Ask about guaranteed acceptance policies
- Consider term insurance
- Avoid most riders
- Don't buy more than you need
88 Shop around thoroughly
- Shop around thoroughly to make sure youre
getting a good deal. Just because its easy to
get quotes doesnt mean theyre all created
equal. Always read a policy in its entirety, and
ask questions if anything is unclear. There are
differences between whole life, term life,
universal life, and variable life find out which
one suits your needs best. Be wary of any
commission-based salesperson whos trying to push
one product over anotherthey may not have your
best interests at heart. - 9 Factor in inflation
- If youre planning to rely on your policy to take
care of loved ones after you die, be sure it
covers inflation over time. Without inflation
protection, your beneficiaries will be left with
a pile of money that wont have any buying power.
Its worth paying more upfront for a life
insurance policy that will last well into your
childrens adulthood. A little bit of extra
effort can mean a lot down the road. Find out if
your agent/broker is commission-based or
fee-only, so you dont have to worry about hidden
incentives or pressure from someone trying to
sell something.
