The topic of which family members require life insurance most often deters people from having a fruitful discussion due to emotional involvement. However, it is important to set emotions apart and think practically to ensure the financial security of our families in times of sudden mishaps. The conversation should pivot around analyzing the financial impact of each family member’s death. If you are contemplating life insurance and reside in North Carolina, consult our Lee Insurance Agency LLC team.
Who in the Family Requires Insurance?
Typically, depending on their roles in the family, not all family members require life insurance. The need greatly varies, and even family members with no external income might have significant contributions that may be financially cumbersome to replace upon their death.
The ensuing discussion of various familial roles can help you contemplate the need for life insurance in your family and prioritize the ones whose loss would cause significant financial distress.
- Breadwinners: Who brings in the household income? Can the family manage without their income?
- Caregivers: Who takes care of the dependents in the family – children or elderlies? What would be the cost to hire external help for the same care?
- Medical History: Are there any hereditary health issues that might affect the eligibility of a child for life insurance in the future?
- Final Expenses: Can you afford the final expenses of a deceased family member?
- Family Business: If you co-own a business with family members, does the business succession plan have the necessary funding?
- Loans: Does anyone in your family have any outstanding debts, either to creditors or other family members?
