What if my Home was Burglarized or had a giant Windstorm?

Here are a few tips to help you out, should encounter such a situation: If you saw the burglar, you will be asked to provide a description which will include: Once the police have finished their investigation, make your own inspection. Use a Home Inventory Checklist to check for missing items, otherwise, you may not discover the full extent of the theft until days or even months after the burglary. At the moment of crisis, call Farmers® Claim Department at 1-800-435-7764 for assistance when you need it most.

What were to happen to all of your assets if you were to die? Learn the FAQ about Life Insurance now!

Life insurance death benefits are distributed to the named beneficiaries of the policy. However, for distribution of your assets, it's important to create a living will in order to tell the probate court judge who should receive your belongings. This may also help to speed-up the process. Without a living will, probate could take an extended amount of time and may be significantly more expensive.

Do you know the difference between Term Insurance & Permanent Insurance?

When thinking about Life Insurance it is important to consider these two things.

Term insurance has level premiums for a set period of time and is usually more affordable. It provides the greatest amount of coverage for the lowest initial cost. You may find that a Term policy is a good choice if you have temporary needs or if your funds are limited.

 

Permanent insurance, which includes Whole Life and Universal Life, may be the right fit for you if you want to help cover a long-term need such as replacing income for a surviving spouse, legacy planning for children or end of life expenses. Permanent insurance may initially cost more, but may accumulate cash value.

 

It's difficult to say exactly which kind of Life insurance is better, because the type of coverage that's right for you all depends on your individual circumstances and financial goals. A combination of Term and Permanent insurance may be the right solution.
