Q&A with Jim Tretola
Can life insurance help pay for long-term care or nursing home costs?
Answer: It depends on what is in the policy. Some policies come with a long-term care (LTC) rider. Some policies have an accelerated death benefit rider.
People can also do life settlements on their policies.
In addition, while expensive in later years, you might be able to get LTC,
if you can pass the medical underwriting questions.
Some people look into Fixed Index Annuities, which can have an LTC rider,
that comes WITHOUT medical underwriting.
Long-term care, whether in the home, nursing home, or Assisted Living Community, can be financially devastating for families, and they should plan for their later years.
What is the most common mistake people make when buying life insurance?
Answer: I would say not having any, enough, or the right type of policy is an important factor to be considered. That is why they should consult with a licensed and experienced Agent.
What is final expense insurance and how is it different from regular life insurance?
Answer: Final Expense insurance is an affordable way to pay for Final Expenses. Upon death, the payout is immediate, as it does not have to go through probate. Also, you can get a Final Expense policy later in life WITHOUT medical underwriting. It is a very thoughtful and considerate thing someone can do for their family.
