Spousal Security & Income
Replaces lost income so your family can keep its standard of living.
The sudden loss of a family member’s income can lead to significant financial strain for most families, making it difficult to cover essential expenses and maintain their standard of living. In such cases, a life insurance policy can offer critical support by providing a lump sum payment to help replace the lost income.
This benefit can be used to cover ongoing expenses such as mortgage payments, education costs, and daily living expenses, ensuring the family’s financial stability during a difficult time. Life insurance serves as a safety net, offering peace of mind and financial protection when it is needed most.

Common Questions About Spousal Security & Income
What is spousal security planning?
It is planning that makes sure a surviving spouse has income, capital and control if the business owner dies or becomes disabled, without having to sell the business or depend on others.
How does life insurance support a surviving spouse?
The death benefit can replace lost income, pay off debts, fund a buyout of the business interest and give the spouse time to make decisions. A permanent policy can also provide cash value during the owner's lifetime.
What else should be in place?
A current will or trust, updated beneficiary designations, a buy-sell agreement for the business and clear instructions so the spouse knows where everything is.
