iii. FAQ
Frequently asked.
- How much life insurance do I need?
- Common rule: 10× annual income, plus mortgage balance, plus future college costs for kids. For most Texas families that's $500K–$1.5M of term life. We run the specific calculation based on your situation.
- Term vs. whole life — which is right for me?
- Term gives you the most coverage for the lowest premium during the years your family needs protection (typically 20–30 years). Whole life is lifelong coverage with a cash-value component — better for estate planning, business buy-sell agreements, or final expenses than for income replacement.
- How fast can I get a policy approved in Texas?
- No-exam policies often approve in 24–72 hours. Traditional underwritten policies (with a medical exam) take 4–8 weeks but typically come in at lower premiums. We'll tell you which path makes sense for you.
- Are life insurance benefits taxed in Texas?
- Death benefits paid to a named beneficiary are generally not subject to federal or Texas state income tax. Estate-tax implications depend on policy ownership and total estate size — we coordinate with your CPA when needed.
