Life Insurance after 60- is it necessary?

You may have had life insurance for as long as you can remember. You knew it was important to make sure that your family would be taken care of and be able to pay their bills if anything happened to you.

But now that you’re over 60, your children are grown, and your mortgage is paid off, you may feel you don’t need life insurance anymore. However, there are some circumstances under which it may still make sense for you to have life insurance:

• You still have substantial debt.
• You have dependent children or grandchildren.
• You want to be able to leave a financial legacy.

“It gives me great pleasure to write about Gaston Lord and Safeguard Insurance &Financial Services. When I decided to buy insurance for myself and family, I interviewed many people before I decided Gaston was the right choice. At the time Gaston was working for another company before he started his own. I found Gaston to be patient, very pleasant and answered all my questions thoroughly. He always took the time to call me back and visit me regularly or when I needed to see him. He is not like other agents who visits you once a year and tells you the market has gone down for everyone. The best thing is he treats my account like his account. He will call me and tell me, I suggest we reevaluate your account, the market is sliding, and he parks the money in a safer investment, until its time reach our goals again. That is tailored made investments to me. Gaston is like a great neighbour, he looks after your house when you’re not looking. Thanks for everything Gaston!”
