A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income, plus outstanding mortgage balance. A Madison household earning $90,000 might start at $900,000 to $1.1 million in coverage depending on debts and dependents.
Not always. Several carriers offer accelerated underwriting for applicants under 60 in good health, using database checks instead of a physical exam. We identify which carriers offer this option based on your age and health profile.
Many term policies include a conversion option allowing you to switch to a whole or universal life policy without new medical underwriting. We specifically look for this feature when recommending policies to younger Madison clients.
You can renew annually at higher premiums, convert to a permanent policy if your contract allows it, or apply for a new term policy. We review your situation 12 months before expiration so you have options ready well in advance.
