What this coverage includes
- Term life for 10, 15, 20 and 30 year periods

How much coverage is right
A practical starting point is mortgage balance plus 10 times income plus education costs, minus existing savings and group coverage. We build the number with you rather than quoting a round figure.
Term versus permanent
Term covers a defined window such as the years your kids are at home or your mortgage is unpaid, at the lowest cost. Permanent coverage lasts for life and builds cash value. We price both so the trade-off is visible.
Life Insurance FAQs for El Cajon
Can I get life insurance without a medical exam?
Yes. Several carriers offer accelerated underwriting or simplified issue coverage with no exam, often approved within days.
How much does term life cost?
A healthy 35 year old can often buy 500,000 dollars of 20 year term for roughly 25 to 40 dollars a month. Age, health and tobacco use are the biggest factors.
Is my employer's group life enough?
Rarely. Group coverage is typically one or two times salary and ends when you leave the job, so most families add an individual policy.
Can I buy life insurance for a parent?
Yes, with their consent and an insurable interest. Final expense policies are commonly purchased this way.
What is a living benefits rider?
It lets you access part of the death benefit early if you are diagnosed with a qualifying terminal, chronic or critical illness.
