Life insurance is a great way to protect your family or leave a legacy. It can cover funeral expenses, medical bills, or long-term costs like mortgage payments while your estate is sorted out. But the path to getting it can vary. If you’re young, healthy, and looking for quick coverage, comparing online life insurance quotes is a great place to start. But if you’re over 50 or in poor health, be prepared to call in and work directly with an agent to figure out the best coverage for your needs.
