How Does a Life Insurance Broker Help You Find the Best Coverage?

Our life insurance brokers act as your advocate in the insurance marketplace.

We find you the best coverage by:

  • Understanding your needs: Our brokers will ask questions about your financial situation, dependents, and risk tolerance. This helps us tailor our recommendations to your needs.
  • Shopping around: Our brokers work with multiple insurance companies, giving you access to a wider range of quotes and policy options.
  • Comparing policies: We explain the complexities of different life insurance products and help you compare them based on your needs and budget.
  • Advocating for you: If there are any issues during the application process or with a claim, we represent you and act as a liaison with the insurance company.

A Complete Suite of Life Insurance Policy Options

Here at Quadrant Life Planning Inc, we believe everyone should be able to know their options and see what insurance plans are available to them. When you choose us, we’ll walk you through your options, compare different policies, and weigh the advantages of them. We’ll help you find the right plan for you and your loved ones.

Different insurance providers will have different policies. That said, there are two main types of life insurance from which you can choose:

  1. Term life insurance

Term life insurance tends to be the most affordable life insurance policy. It’s very flexible in terms of both timeline and contribution amounts. You can purchase this type of life insurance at a fixed rate.

  1. Whole life insurance

Whole life insurance is long-lasting and permanent, providing coverage through your entire life span. It never expires, but it also tends to be more expensive.

Other types of life insurance plans include senior life insurance, universal life insurance, and variable life insurance. Once our brokers get an understanding of your unique needs and circumstances, we will find you a plan that maximizes your investment and provides ultimate protection.

Life Insurance Explained

Life insurance is a contract or policy made between an individual and an insurance company in which, upon purchase, the company promises to pay claims in the event of the purchaser’s death.

The claim, also known as a death benefit, will go toward paying for final expenses, paying off debts such as mortgages, fulfilling educational responsibilities, and supporting loved ones.

Life insurance is especially important if the insured has any dependents.

Naming a Life Insurance Beneficiary: What to Know

An insurance beneficiary is the person or entity you designate to receive the payout from your insurance policy after your passing. This could be a spouse, child, family member, friend, charity, or even a trust. Naming a beneficiary ensures the financial security of your loved ones or fulfills your wishes regarding charitable donations.

You can designate a beneficiary during the initial application for your policy or by updating your information with the insurance company. Keep the beneficiary information current, especially if you have any life changes, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or divorce.

How Do You Compare Life Insurance Quotes?

Our comparison process is standardized. Our brokers will obtain quotes for the same coverage amount and policy type (term vs. whole life) from each insurer to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison.

Here are some other comparison strategies we use:

  1. Financial strength and ratings review: We consider the financial health and claims settlement ratings of different insurers. This ensures you get coverage from a stable company with a good track record of paying out claims.
  2. Policy feature and rider matching: Our brokers compare features and available riders (optional add-ons) across different policies. We identify plans that offer the specific benefits you need, like waiver of premium riders or disability income riders.
  3. Price optimization with negotiation: Our brokers leverage our relationships with insurance companies to potentially negotiate more favorable premiums on your behalf. We can also identify discounts you might qualify for, such as good health discounts.

Life Insurance Riders: Common Types

Insurance riders are essentially add-ons you can purchase to customize your base insurance policy. They provide additional benefits or protections beyond what the standard plan offers.

Here are a few common types:

  • Disability waiver of premium: This kicks in if you become disabled and can’t work, waiving your premium payments so your policy stays active.
  • Accelerated death benefit: Allows you to access a portion of your death benefit while still living if diagnosed with a terminal illness.
  • Accidental death and dismemberment: Provides additional payout if you die or suffer a severe injury due to an accident.

When to Purchase Life Insurance

Although younger people may not feel the need to purchase life insurance, life insurance can be a beneficial investment at any stage in life. The younger you are at the time of purchase, the less expensive it is.

Some of the more common reasons that people may purchase life insurance are:

  • To provide financial support to dependents in the case of death
  • To ensure that funeral and burial costs are covered
  • To ensure that family is not burdened with outstanding debts when you die
  • To help cover estate taxes
  • To diversify your investments in retirement

How Does Age Affect Life Insurance Rates?

Since the risk of death statistically increases with age, so does the premium. This means that younger applicants tend to qualify for lower rates, while premiums rise steadily as you get older.

The underwriting process might involve answering basic health questions for younger individuals. Older applicants might face more stringent requirements, such as additional medical tests or higher coverage limits.
