Try getting your life insurance from a financial adviser and not an insurance broker

Try getting your life insurance from a financial adviser and not an insurance broker. Brokers will make money off of enrolling you with a insurance policy. Financial advisers only get the flat fee you pay them. This makes a financial adviser more likely to sell you a policy based solely on your needs, and not on the amount of commission he will earn.

Life insurance is an important item to have in place, especially if you have a family that will need to be provided for after you have died. Do not leave this important issue until it is too late. Investigate a life insurance policy as soon as you are able and ensure that it is backed up with a current will.

When buying term life insurance, make sure the duration of your policy matches the amount of time you need it. For example, buy term insurance that stays in force long enough until the kids become independent and also, that the remaining spouse has coverage until he or she, becomes eligible for retirement income.

Get yourself a policy that has a "conversion to permanent" clause. This refers to the fact that at any time, the policy holder can switch their term insurance into permanent insurance without further medical exams. While this may not save money at first, it will eventually save money if you start suffering from poor from health problems before the policy runs out.
