Life insurance comes in a few different forms, and knowing the basics can make the decision much less overwhelming.
Term life insurance covers you for a set number of years, often the ones with the biggest financial responsibilities, like raising kids or paying off a mortgage. Permanent life insurance stays in place for your lifetime and can build cash value over time.
Neither option is inherently better. It comes down to your goals, your budget, and what you're trying to protect. At Heritage, we can walk you through the differences and help you figure out which approach fits your situation.
