Life Insurance

WCG views life insurance as an essential component to an all-encompassing portfolio. Life insurance ensures protection to your loved ones and dependents upon your death. This benefit is meant to help replace the income you would have otherwise earned. There are two main types of life insurance – Term and Permanent.

Term

Term Life Insurance is meant for those who are in need of coverage at an affordable cost. This can help you get proper coverage for a specific need for a certain amount of time.

Permanent

If you are seeking lifetime protection - then this may be your best option. Permanent Life Insurance is like owning property - it is meant for those individuals who are looking for solutions to help meet their long-term needs. In the long-run, this option may be the most inexpensive form of life insurance. Because premium are fixed, it builds value. Plus, this cash-value is accumulated on a tax-deferred basis.

Estate Taxes

A special type of life insurance can be used to pay estate taxes. Typically, the policies are owned by trust that is set up to keep the death benefit from inclusion in the client's estate.

Annuities

An annuity can provide you with a tax-deferred way of saving for your retirement. And once you've retired, an annuity can give you a guaranteed stream of income for as long as you live. It's like getting a paycheck for the rest of your life; and it can help you maximize your income throughout retirement.
