Life Insurance & Annuities

A life insurance policy allows you to set aside money now to provide a measure of financial security for your family upon your death. It can help your family meet the financial needs previously covered by your income.

An annuity is a series of payments that acts similarly to a savings plan to provide primary or supplementary retirement income. An insurance company pays annuity benefits while you are alive (except for fixed-period annuities).
