The Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider
There is no shortage of insurance companies providing life insurance policies in Texas, so you
have your work cut out when you attempt to choose a suitable policy. Numerous factors need to
be considered when choosing the right policy for your family including the choice between whole
and term life insurance, annual costs of the insurance, and protection from financial difficulties.
The life insurance agents in Texas should be able to answer your questions. If you are
looking to take out one or more policies, the insurance provider should clarify the key issues.
Before settling on an insurance agent in Texas, you should ask the following questions:
● What will be covered by the premium and the expenses at the time of claim?
● How much insurance should you take out based on anticipated future expenditures?
(The agent should help you calculate this amount )
● What are the costs involved and can any of them be excluded?
● Can you cancel the plan at will and if not, what are the conditions for this?
● How is your (the insurer’s) policy better than similar ones offered by other insurance
providers?
● How flexible is the policy and how fluidly can you shift to another one?
● What are the financial ratings of the insurance company and how reliable is it?
● What special benefits are offered under children’s policies to maximize protection? Will
the proceeds of the policy on a claim be paid in a lump sum or as part of an annuity?
● Which type of policy should be taken out: term or life insurance? (The agent should
detail the pros and cons of both)
● How do you account for life expectancy when evaluating a term policy?
● How to account for cash build up and compare it with the higher cost associated with a
whole life policy?
● When taking a whole life policy, will the premium begin to rise after a specified period?
From 1940 to the 1970s, people preferred taking out whole life insurance. Since the Tax Equity
and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) came into force in 1981, many insurers and banks
offering insurance services became sensitive about the interest rates.
Life Insurance Agents that Offer the Most Useful Guidance
As people become more inclined to invest in the market and get a return at a rate higher than
10-12 percent, it has become important to consider the rate at which insurance premiums are
charged. Whole life stays level whereas universal life and modified whole life and term can rise
if they are not guaranteed by contract. By asking your insurance provider, you can better learn
about all your options.
