Start With the People Who Depend on You
A life insurance review begins with your household, responsibilities, and goals. Think about the income you contribute, debts you would want addressed, and people you plan to name as beneficiaries. Bring details of existing coverage so you can discuss the whole picture.
Understand the Policy Type
Term life insurance covers a specified period and generally does not build cash value. Permanent products, including whole life and universal life, have different structures for premiums, benefits, and cash values. Read the contract and distinguish guarantees from projections.
The New York insurance regulator’s life insurance FAQ provides background on policy types and conversion features.
Questions for Your Review
- How long do I want coverage to last?
- What premium can I maintain over time?
- What happens if I miss payments or need to change coverage?
- Which benefits are guaranteed, and which can change?
- Are there exclusions, waiting periods, or underwriting requirements?
- How do loans or withdrawals affect a policy with cash value?
Review Before Replacing Coverage
If you already have a policy, compare its terms with any proposed replacement. Ask about new application requirements, costs, and restrictions before making a change. Keep beneficiary information current and revisit the conversation after major life changes.
