The life insurance industry is one of the oldest industries still in existence and at its core answers the simple question… How will my family manage financially when I die?

How much life insurance do you need? It's probably one of the most important and unsettling questions that we pose to our clients. It's also a question that many of us tend to ignore until it's too late. Perhaps the best way to come to terms with this difficult subject is to educate yourself and understand how best to determine your coverage needs.
