Cheapest Life Insurance Rates in Houston Texas

October 31 2008 by visitor in Houston Life Insurance |Comments Off

Readers Question:

There are a lot of life insurance companies here in Houston that offers very low priced term life insurance. I think that all cheap products have a down side. I would just like to know why term life insurance is so low priced. Who has the cheapest life insurance rates?

Robert

Houston, TX

To answer your question, the thing that sets permanent life insurance apart from the term life insurance is the same thing that makes it more expensive than term life insurance as well. That is why they are differently priced there in Houston . Permanent life insurance allows its customers to borrow a certain amount of money when their deposits have reached an amount. This is why it is more expensive. Also, the insurance coverage is up to the death of the customer and new renewals are necessary.

When it comes to term life insurance though, you cannot borrow any amount of money from your deposits no matter what the case is. Also, the insurance coverage only runs for a specific amount of time. This means that if you die after the time frame, then your beneficiaries will not get the amount that you paid for.

This means that unlike other cheaper products that can be bought in malls, affordable life insurance doesn’t mean low quality insurance coverage because in the first place, there is no such thing as a low quality insurance coverage.

Term Life Insurance Premiums in Houston Texas

October 31 2008 by visitor in Houston Life Insurance |Comments Off

Readers Question:

I was wondering if there is any way that I can lessen the premium that I pay for a term life insurance here in Houston.

Jesse

Houston, TX

It is important to remember that there are three things that you should take into mind when it comes to term life insurance. The first is the amount that your beneficiaries will receive after you die, the second is the prices of the policies and the third is how long you have to pay. This is because these pretty much determine if you get to have lower premiums or not. Of course, the lower the amount that your beneficiaries will get after you death, the lower premiums you have to pay for.

You can always inform the insurance agent there in Houston that you have gotten the term life insurance plan from about your current financial status so he or she can inform you if they offer other premiums that cost less but with the same policy that you like. Just remember that there are other insurance agents that you are most likely to find what you are looking for. Just remember to always bear in mind the three things that I have mentioned form the start.

Simply speak to your life insurance provider there in Houston,  inform him and her about your issue.

 

 

Cheapest Life Insurance Rates in Houston TX

Reader’s Question:

My concern is just the same as the concern of other people. I was wondering if there is any life insurance here in Houston that is the cheapest rate possible?

Brandy

Houston, TX

It is very important to become aware that there are two types of life insurance that you can choose from there in Houston. The first type is the whole life insurance. This is the type of insurance that is quite expensive since it offers more than financial coverage at the time of your death. They also let you borrow a certain amount when you are still alive. However, you can only borrow this if the amount that you pay for monthly has accumulated a certain value. This is not applicable to people who are just looking for the basic coverage that a normal life insurance offers.

The second type of life insurance is also the cheapest. It is the term life insurance. When you compare the prices, term life insurance is a lot more affordable than whole life insurance. This is because this type of insurance does not allow people to borrow money from their investments while they are still alive. Also, the insurance only runs for a specific time frame so a renewal is a must every now and then or else the beneficiaries will not get any assistance if you die after the time frame given.

Whichever you choose, you also have a lot of choices of life insurance providers there in Houston. Simply type in your zip code on the blank space on this page and have fun choosing!

Is Accidental Death Covered By Life Insurance Policy

August 14 2008 by visitor in Houston Life Insurance |Comments Off

Readers Question:

Is accidental death covered by my life insurance policy?

Andrea

Houston Texas

Usually, accidental death is covered in life insurance policy. In fact, it is more favorable in a sense that the face amount becomes doubled. This is what is called double indemnity that life insurance companies follows when paying death due to accidents. For instance, if your life insurance death benefit is worth 300,000 dollars, your beneficiaries will receive 600,000 dollars if death was due to accident.

Some life insurance products do not cover accidental death. But you can always add this provision in the policy through its rider. A rider is a modification of the contract that adds more provision. Since there is added benefit, there is consequently an increase in premium. The increase in the premiums differ based on the face amount and the the type of product presented to you.

However, today, most life insurance companies already incorporate accidental death in most of its life insurance policy. And surely, you can find these products in Houston, Texas. To ensure that you get the needed life insurance for cases of accidents, check on the products that are sold to you by the life insurance agents. It is best to ask about accidental deaths on life insurance products.

 

Are Life Insurance Payments Tax Deductible

July 23 2008 by visitor in Life insurance for smoker Houston TX |Comments Off

Readers Question:

Quick question. When purchasing life insurance, are the premiums tax deductible? This would help me with the decision between life insurance and market investments. Thank you,

Henry

Houston, TX

Hello Henry,

Under certain circumstances life insurance premiums can be tax deductible in Houston Texas. Every situation would need to be reviewed with a life insurance agent and a tax consultant in Texas. If you own a business, or in other employment situations premiums can be deducted from your tax liability. This only applies to specific types of insurances and your life insurance agent is best suited to develop the most appropriate plan.

You should also keep in mind that for most individuals, life insurance offers other tax based benefits. Whole life insurance offers a unique means to accrue cash and equity on a tax deferred basis. Of course the primary purpose of life insurance is to provide a guaranteed death benefit to your loved ones, but we believe you will find whole life insurance to have many tax advantages.

Of course, every situation is different, like yours. When preparing your estate and planning for your future, you should always consult both your life insurance agent and your tax helper. Your personal portfolio and employment circumstances will determine the tax advantages of your life insurance coverage in Houston.

 

Houston Texas No Exam Life Insurance Policy

July 9 2008 by visitor in Cheap no exam life insurance Houston |Comments Off

Reader’s Question:

I have seen and read so many advertisements on ‘no medical exam’ life insurance policies. Sound too good to be true, but since my term life insurance is about to expire, I would like to give it shot. I am just worried it would just rip me off and end up regretting. I hope you can help.

Tara

Houston, TX

Hello there, Tara.

Good thing you asked me about this. I probably know a lot about no exam life insurance policy because like you, I gave in to advertisements and now, I hold one.

Getting no exam life insurance policy can be a piece of cake for anyone. What I did was to get online and fill out a questionnaire from a reputable life insurance company. Of course, there can be so much junk in the internet and you need to be very careful and research more extensively before you transact online. Do not be surprised though if you will get an instant coverage right after you pay premium.

In my case, it took me a quick 15 minute application to get instant life insurance coverage. You will never run out of options since most legitimate life insurance companies that own a website normally offer this service online.

If you are not very comfortable transacting online though, you can always call an agent form a local life insurance company in Houston, Texas and ask for no exam life insurance. You will be interviewed for as short as 15 minutes and after the interview (which serves as the questionnaire online) you will get your results whether you qualify for coverage or not. In most cases, applicants get approved more often than not.

To start shopping online, simply enter your zip code on the relevant space found in this page.

Have a good one!

How Does a Life Insurance Compay Know I Smoke

March 8 2008 by fashun in Life insurance for smoker Houston TX |Comments Off

Reader question:

How does a company know that I’m a smoker to give me a high priced smoker life insurance rate?

Abigail

Thanks for asking, Abigail.

The Houston Texas smoker life insurance company can typically find out through two, very simple, ways:

  • You cough it up.

Know that little question on your insurance form that asks you if you smoke? Well, if you check the yes box, then you are officially out of the smoking closet. Your company will rate you based on that. And you should definitely check it, because if you don’t, there are consequences.

  • They catch you.

Since most Houston Texas smoker life insurance companies require a medical exam prior to guaranteeing service, it’s likely that if you’re any kind of a smoker at all it’ll come out in that process, whether through an admission to the doctor, or through blood and urine samples which will be tested for other conditions.

take care,

Temporary Term Life Insurance Policy

March 8 2008 by fashun in Temporary Life Insurance |Comments Off

Reader question:

What is a temporary term life insurance plan?

Mario

Great question.

A temporary term life insurance plan, usually called an annually renewable policy, is expensive, annoying, and hard to deal with–but sometimes necessary. I’ll give you some of the bare details: with a renewable plan, you will be given health insurance coverage for each year. At the end of the year, you can either allow it to expire, or you can renew it with the same kind of coverage. Problem is, when you renew it, you are rated all over again. So if you have an annually renewable plan for your entire life, then you’re going to get one price as a healthy 20 something, and a whole ‘nother (bigger) price as a middle aged person.

There are very few reasons to purchase a temporary term life insurance policy. If you’ve just quit smoking and don’t want to lock in the high rates you will get after only a couple of years without smoking, then you might get a temporary plan and get a real one once you’re able to get better rates. Same would go for if you have just gone into remission for cancer, or something like that.

One good reason NOT to get a term life insurance plan? You just don’t want to commit. Or you’re doing it at the last minute. Thirty years seems to long etc.. Instead of coming up with excuses, you can find a regular life insurance plan easily–by getting quotes and comparing them until you find a price and a policy you like.

take care,

Fashun

Should I Buy Term Life Insurance Online In Houston

March 8 2008 by fashun in Houston Life Insurance |Comments Off

Reader question:

Should I buy term life insurance online?  I live in Houston Texas, if that matters at all.

Malcolm

Thanks for asking.

You CAN buy term life insurance online, but there’s an added question of whether or not you should. Online life insurance policy purchasing has its own pros and cons, so let’s look at a couple of those.

First of all, if you buy term life insurance policy online for yourself, then the company is probably going to forego the medical exam. Yeah, I can hear you cheering now, because you’re sure something terrible will come up in a medical exam, but for many people that’s an unfounded fear. Just because online life insurance doesn’t ask for a medical exam doesn’t mean you’re really saving money; you could end up paying more for less coverage.

At the same time, it’s hard to compare on a larger scale. Some companies discount online policies, while others do allow you to schedule medical exams and later purchase the final policy online, and companies save money selling policies online, and that helps you. So which is the best option? It’s best to take it on a case by case basis and get plenty of quotes.

take care,

Fashun
