The most common and affordable type of life insurance. Your premium is fixed for the entire term. Coverage amounts typically range from $100,000 to several million dollars. Most families with a mortgage and dependents start here.
The tax-free lump sum paid to your beneficiaries when you die. The right amount depends on income replacement needs, mortgage balance, childcare costs, and other financial obligations you want covered.
Many term policies allow conversion to permanent coverage later without a new medical exam — useful if your health changes and you want to lock in insurability before the term ends.
Allows early access to a portion of the death benefit if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness. Included in most policies at no additional cost.
Waives your premium if you become disabled and can't work — keeping your policy in force when you need it most and can least afford to pay for it.
If you're looking for permanent coverage, we also write whole life and final expense policies for Minnesotans who want lifelong coverage with a cash value component.
