Would your family be able to continue covering expenses you may have today like mortgage payments, childcare, credit card payments, college tuition and other household expenses? What about burial expenses or expenses for long term care like nursing home or assisted living care? Many families would struggle, especially if the primary wage earner died. And few families are able to afford nursing home care without some type of financial assistance. LifeTime Benefit Term can help.
