You have opened or expanded a business
Your health or your spouse’s health has deteriorated
You are providing care or financial assistance to a parent
Your child or grandchild requires assistance or long-term care

What You Need to Know

Mystic Insurance can help you select the best life insurance coverage for your needs. There are several different types of life insurance products available – the most common include:

Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance provides protection for a specified period of time. If you do not currently have life insurance, term can be a good place to start. It’s generally less expensive than permanent (whole) life insurance, and is available in varying time periods with fixed premiums from a one year (annual renewable term) to 30-year (level term) period.

Furthermore, term life insurance is sometimes convertible to permanent coverage, providing you with flexibility as your needs change.

Whole Life Insurance

Whole life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that remains in force for your entire lifetime, provided premiums are paid as specified in the policy. Whole life insurance can be an investment opportunity, as many whole life insurance policies also build cash value over time.

Universal Life Insurance

Universal life is a form of permanent life insurance characterized by its flexible premiums, face amounts and unbundled pricing structure. Universal life can build cash value, which earns an interest rate that may adjust periodically, but is usually guaranteed not to fall below a certain percentage.

Advantages of Life Insurance

Having the right life insurance is essential to planning for your present and your future. Not only can life insurance provide assurance for your family after you are gone, many life insurance options offer other benefits and investment opportunities you can take advantage of while you are living.

Life Insurance Death Benefit

When you pass away, your life insurance provides income (tax-free) to your named beneficiary or beneficiaries that can be used to pay funeral expenses, debt, tuition, estate taxes, or virtually any financial need. Your policy can help provide security for your business as well, by enabling partners to buy out the interests of a deceased partner and prevent a forced liquidation.

Living Benefits

The cash value growth of a permanent (whole) life insurance policy is tax-deferred, meaning you do not pay taxes on the growth of cash value, unless money is withdrawn. Loans or withdrawals can be taken against the cash value of a permanent life insurance policy to help with expenses, such as college tuition or the down payment on a home.

Child Life Insurance

Be prepared for the unthinkable. Child life insurance throughout the State of New Jersey.

No one wants to consider the unthinkable, so talking about child life insurance can be difficult. But, there are advantages to this type of coverage that you might not be aware of. We’ll talk you through the basics of a child life insurance policy to help you decide if it’s right for your family.

While life insurance is usually associated with breadwinners, there are some good reasons to get it for a child. But, it’s very much a case-by-case product, so it’s worth getting expert advice. Child life insurance is usually a whole life policy that starts much earlier in life than usual. It has three main advantages.

One is that it can cover funeral costs, counseling and leave from work in the tragic event that your child dies.

The second advantage is that it can act as a form of savings, particularly for college fees. Most child life insurance policies build up a cash reserve that you can either withdraw (for a fee) or use as security on a loan. In most cases, the growth of this cash reserve is at a guaranteed rate.

How relevant and significant these benefits are will depend on your financial circumstances, your other savings and investments and your attitude toward risk.

Key man life insurance throughout the State of New Jersey.

Key man life insurance can keep your business afloat in the event of the death of any employee who is an integral asset to the company’s survival. We’ll work with you to design coverage that helps assure continuity of your business for employees, customers and creditors.

You might describe the skills and knowledge of the senior staff as priceless, but if anything happened to them, the financial losses for your business could be very real.

Where ordinary life insurance compensates a person’s financial dependents for loss of income, key man life insurance is all about the costs a business faces when the person dies. It’s best suited for staff who are so vital to the company’s operations that it could struggle to survive without them.

The payout from a key man life insurance policy will ideally help the company stay afloat while the other members of your staff come to grips with running the business, or until your business hires a suitable replacement and brings them up to speed.

In the worst-case scenario, the payout could instead be used to wind down operations in a controlled manner rather than face the chaos and damage of a forced liquidation.

In addition to paying out when a key staff member has passed away, some key man policies will also pay out if the person is diagnosed with a terminal illness or suffers a critical illness that means they can no longer work.

Key man life insurance is a great way to protect your business. If you think this might be a good fit for your business, let us know. We can walk you through your options.
