A few reasons to get life insurance if you’re about to become a homeowner.

Choosing the right home is important—it’s where your family will spend time and create memories together. And if you want to make sure your family can stay in your home, buying life insurance can be just as important. The right policy can provide your loved ones with the means to pay the mortgage if they lose you, and help keep them financially secure for years to come.

If you’ve found your dream home, life insurance can help you:

Keep your family in your home.
If something happens to you, life insurance can help ensure that the mortgage is paid, —so your kids can stay in the same school, and your family can stay in the home and neighborhood where they feel comfortable. And what’s more, your loved ones won’t have to make rash decisions about moving or selling during a time of emotional stress.

Cover major improvements.
If you decide that your home could use an extra room, or if you need to address a major repair, a Permanent Life Insurance policy can, over time, accumulate cash value to help cover the costs, often tax-free.1

How Permanent and Term Life Insurance can help you plan for your ifs.
As you and your family put down roots, it’s important to have a life insurance policy that will help you protect your family from debt, realize your financial goals, and plan for the ifs in life. You may consider Permanent Life Insurance, which provides a lifetime of protection, flexible payment options, and cash value that can be used for any reason you choose—such as your child’s education, or in case unexpected challenges come your way. You may also consider Term Life Insurance, which offers an inexpensive way to protect your family for a specified period of time, and can help ensure that you have the right amount of coverage when you need it.

1 Cash values can be accessed through loans and/or withdrawals, but these are likely to reduce death benefits. In addition, withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and could have a permanent effect on the cash value. Loans reduce the cash value and death benefit by the amount of the loan outstanding plus interest.
