Secure Your Family's Future With Life Insurance

What Is Life Insurance?

Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your death. When you pass away, your life insurance policy pays a benefit to your designated beneficiaries, helping them cover expenses like mortgage payments, daily living costs, education expenses, and outstanding debts. This coverage ensures that your family can maintain their standard of living and achieve their goals even without your income.

Why You Need Life Insurance

• Replaces your income so your family can maintain their lifestyle
• Pays off your mortgage, car loans, and other outstanding debts
• Covers funeral and final expenses, which can be substantial
• Funds your children's education without financial hardship
• Protects your spouse's retirement plans and savings
• Provides peace of mind knowing your family won't face financial crisis

Types of Life Insurance Coverage

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period, typically ten to thirty years, and is the most affordable option for most families. It pays a benefit only if you die during the term. Whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage and builds cash value over time that you can borrow against. Universal life insurance offers flexible premiums and death benefits while also accumulating cash value. Each type serves different needs and budgets, and our experienced agents can help you determine which option best protects your family.

Who Should Consider Life Insurance?

If anyone depends on your income, you need life insurance. Parents with young children need coverage to ensure their kids are cared for financially. Homeowners with mortgages need coverage to prevent their family from losing their home. Business owners need coverage to protect their partners and ensure business continuity. Even stay-at-home parents should consider coverage, as replacing the services they provide would be costly. The Gordon Agency works with families throughout Florida to identify coverage needs and find affordable solutions.

How Much Life Insurance Do I Need?

A good rule of thumb is to carry coverage equal to ten times your annual income, but your actual needs depend on your specific situation. Consider your outstanding debts, your family's ongoing expenses, future costs like college tuition, and your spouse's ability to earn income. Our agents take the time to understand your complete financial picture and your family's needs to recommend appropriate coverage amounts that truly protect those you love.
