A 20-year term bought at 35 would run to about age 55. Whole life is generally designed to last your lifetime, as long as the policy terms are met. Available terms and eligibility depend on the insurer.

What a life insurance benefit may help with
How a benefit is used is up to your beneficiaries. What a policy pays and when depends on the insurer, the coverage you choose, eligibility and the policy terms.
Replacing lost income
May help your household keep up with everyday bills if your paycheck is gone.
Paying off the mortgage
May help your family stay in the home you've built together.
Covering other debts
May help with car loans, credit cards or other balances left behind.
Children's future
May help pay for childcare, school and the milestones you planned for.
Final expenses
May help with funeral and end-of-life costs so loved ones aren't paying out of pocket.
Leaving an inheritance
Permanent coverage is often used to leave something behind for family or a cause you care about.
How much coverage?
A rough number is a starting point, not a recommendation.
Add what your family would need, subtract what you already have, and bring the result to the conversation. The worksheet opens with example figures. Change any of them and the total updates as you type.
Your actual needs, price and eligibility depend on your situation and the insurer's underwriting.
Term life and whole life, side by side
We offer a variety of life insurance plans, including term and whole life insurance. Here's how the two generally compare. Specific features vary by insurer and policy.

Helpful answers
Louisiana life insurance questions
Clear answers help families understand what to discuss before choosing coverage.
What is life insurance for?
Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones after your passing. Families often use it to replace income, pay off a mortgage or debts, cover future costs for children and handle final expenses.
When should I think about getting life insurance?
Many people look into it when someone starts depending on them: getting married, having a child, buying a home or starting a business. Age and health can affect price and eligibility, so it helps to have the conversation sooner rather than later.
I have life insurance through work. Do I need more?
It depends. Coverage through an employer may not be enough for your family's needs, and it may not stay with you if you change jobs. Bring your work coverage details and we can look at the gap together.
What is the difference between term and whole life?
Term life covers a set period, such as 10, 20 or 30 years, and pays a benefit only if the insured passes away during that term. Whole life is generally designed to last your lifetime as long as the policy terms are met, and typically builds cash value. Features vary by insurer and policy.
Can a term policy be converted to permanent coverage later?
Some term policies include a conversion option and some don't. The rules depend on the insurer and the specific policy, so ask us to check before you choose.
Do I need a medical exam?
Some policies require one and others use health questions instead. What's available depends on the insurer, the coverage amount and your situation. We'll explain what applies to you.
How often should I review my policy?
Any time something big changes, like a marriage, a new child, a new home or a change in income, and about once a year otherwise. Make sure your beneficiaries are still who you want.
What are your agency hours?
Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Saturday by appointment. Closed Sunday.
Can I text you or speak with someone in Spanish?
Yes to both. Text messaging is available at 504-455-1234, and our team speaks English and Spanish.
Can I combine life insurance with my home and auto coverage?
We help with life, auto, home and many other coverages from one office, so we can review everything together. Ask us what options are available for your situation.
