How Whole Life Insurance Works

Posted on by AgentInsure

If you don’t have life insurance, you may worry about the future of your family. And, you may have good reason to worry. It can be financially devastating to have a wage-earner pass away without any life insurance left behind. That’s why it’s so important to get a life insurance policy, and a whole life policy is a good choice. If you’re interested in one of these policies, contact us at Hanneken Insurance Agency Inc. in Little Falls, MN.

An Insurance Policy for Life

As the name suggests, who life insurance is there for the rest of your life or your "whole" life. While term life insurance is only good for a specific number of years, whole life policies have no expiration dates. Keep paying the premiums and your policy will be there for your family after you pass away. This guaranteed coverage under the policy is perfect for giving you better peace of mind about the future. Once you sign up, keep paying for it and the company cannot cancel the policy. 

Building a Cash Value

Another thing that is advantageous about whole life policies is that they will build up a cash value over the years. The longer you have the policy, the more the cash value will be. It generally starts a few years into the policy, and it grows over time. This amount is a small portion of the number of profits the company receives from investing in your premiums. Once you have a cash value, you can borrow against it if you have a financial emergency and need access to the funds.

If you don’t have any life insurance, it’s important to get a policy as quickly as you can. Contact us today at Hanneken Insurance Agency Inc. in Little Falls, MN.

Required Auto Insurance in Minnesota

Posted on by AgentInsure

When you drive in Minnesota, there are many different types of coverage that you have to have in one auto insurance policy. All of these coverage types are required. If even one is missing, the state will consider you uninsured, and you can be subject to fines and fees. If you need auto insurance for your Minnesota vehicle, give us a call at Hanneken Insurance Agency Inc. in Little Falls, MN.

Liability Auto Coverage 

In Minnesota, there are a few amounts of coverage that are required for liability coverage. There is one amount required for one person who becomes injured in an accident caused by your vehicle. There is another, higher amount required for all of the people who are injured in such an accident. Then, there is an amount required for any property damage done to someone else’s property in an accident like this. All of these coverage types pay for the damages to others but not to those in your vehicle. 

Other Required Coverages

To pay for the injuries to your driver and/or the passengers, personal injury protection is required. This pays for those injuries as well as a host of other expenses, including lost wages and disability payments as well as a death benefit and survivors’ benefits. The policy is also required to have coverage for both uninsured motorists and underinsured motorists. This can pay for the injuries to those in your vehicle if the motorist who causes the accident either doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough to pay for all of your injuries. This requires one amount for one person who is injured and a larger amount available for all of those who are injured.
