ZORN Life Insurance: Coverage and Explanation

Term Life

Affordable coverage for a set period (e.g., 10/20/30 years). Useful for income replacement during the highest-need years—mortgage payoff, raising children, and debt protection. Laddering multiple terms can match coverage to life stages.

Permanent Life (Whole/Universal)

Potential lifetime coverage with cash value components and flexible premiums (varies by product). Smart when you need coverage beyond a term or want to build long-term planning options. We’ll clarify pros, cons, and costs.

How Much Coverage Do I Need?

A practical approach considers years of income replacement, your mortgage balance, other debts, and education goals. Example: If your family needs 10 years of income at $60,000, plus a $220,000 mortgage and $20,000 in other debts, a starting point could be $840,000. We’ll tailor this for your situation and discuss term length.

Underwriting & Timeline

Expect health questions, prescription review, and, in some cases, a short medical exam. Many carriers offer accelerated/no-exam options for qualified applicants. Typical approvals range from a few days to several weeks depending on health history and requested amount.

Riders & Options

  • Waiver of Premium (keeps policy in force if disabled)

  • Child Rider (low-cost coverage for children)

  • Term Riders on Permanent (blend cost and flexibility)

  • Living Benefits (advance payment for qualifying critical/terminal illnesses)

  • Conversion Options (convert term to permanent within a window—no new medical underwriting)

Pricing and Ways to Save

Premiums reflect age, health, nicotine use, amount, term length, and riders. Save by buying earlier, right-sizing coverage, using laddering, and avoiding unnecessary riders.
