Checklist: Questions To Consider Before You Meet With A Life Insurance Agent

If something should happen, Life Insurance can help your family cover immediate costs after your death (such as funeral costs and paying debts) and maintain their lifestyle in the future.

To help you find the right Life Insurance for your family and your situation, it's a good idea to meet with a licensed agent. When you meet with the agent, there will be a lot of information the agent will need in order to figure out the policy that's right for you. Below are some of the questions to think about ahead of time so that you're prepared. [Click here for an overview of how Life Insurance works]
