Term
Life Insurance Quotes for Singles

Term life insurance
quotes are rarely a concern of single people, but they should be. Unfortunately,
there is a misconception that term life is something owned only by families
in the event that the chief breadwinner dies.
Term life insurance
quotes and policies should be on the minds of everyone, not just parents
and families, for a couple of reasons.
Mortgage
Life Insurance
While people
are still getting married and buying homes, the same is true of many single
people. For single individuals who own a home, getting life insurance through
comparison shopping is important.
If a property
owner dies without insurance, the bank who handles the mortgage, would take
back the home and sell it as quickly as possible in order to recoup their
loss. Imagine how heartbreaking that could be for the person's family.
However, if
the owner had simply investigated the cost of a term life policy, he or she
could have found an affordable policy that would have allowed their loved
ones to pay off the mortgage and to keep the property. Even if they chose
not to live in the home, it could have been sold at a higher price or turned
into rental property to provide income for the beneficiaries. No matter how
the property is used, at least the deceased's investment would not have been
wasted.
Term Life
Insurance for Other Singles
Of course,
not all singles own a home but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be considering
a term life policy as well.
They may not
need mortgage life insurance, but they certainly need term life insurance
to cover the expenses of their funeral, burial plot, and possible medical
bills. Most singles don't plan for these expenses in advance and without
a life insurance policy, loved ones would be left with a potentially large
financial burden.
Additionally,
investigating prices of term insurance and making a decision can also prevent
family members from being left to cover other types of debt, such as car
loans and credit card bills which don't simply disappear when a person, whether
single or married, dies.
