Life Insurance We Write and Look After
Each kind of policy does a different job. Term life covers a set number of years for the lowest starting price. Whole life and universal life last your entire life and build cash value under different rules. Variable life ties its cash value to investment sub-accounts. Final expense pays for a funeral and last bills, and mortgage protection follows the balance on your home loan. We walk you through each one and help you pick what fits your needs and budget.
Term Life Insurance
Level-premium term life coverage for 10 to 30 years, sized to your debts and your children's ages, with beneficiaries checked every year.
Whole Life Insurance
Permanent coverage with a fixed premium and cash value, plus a yearly review we schedule so the policy keeps doing its job for decades.
Universal Life Insurance
Lifelong coverage with premiums you can adjust, plus a yearly look at the cash value so the policy stays funded as you age.
Final Expense Insurance
A small permanent policy sized to cover funeral costs and final bills, so your family is not paying them out of pocket.
Mortgage Protection
Life coverage sized to your mortgage balance and term, paid to your family instead of the bank, and checked every year as the loan changes.
Variable Life Insurance
Permanent coverage with cash value invested in subaccounts you pick, plus a yearly check so charges, allocations and beneficiaries stay current.
Why Families Keep Working With Us
Policies usually fail slowly. A former beneficiary is never removed, a payment drifts past the grace period, or the benefit stops matching what the family owes. Our routine is built to catch those problems before they cost a family money.
Licensed for everything we write
We hold a Property & Casualty license along with a Variable Life & Variable Annuity license. The second one allows us to write variable life insurance, which puts part of your premium into investment sub-accounts and carries risks a licensed agent must explain.
We have seen how policies slip
Our work in the insurance industry goes back to 2016, and the same issues keep coming up: beneficiaries nobody updated, term policies that end with no plan for what comes next, and riders no one remembers adding.
We put your review on the calendar
Every client gets a review each year, and we check your beneficiaries every time. After a divorce, a death in the family or a child turning 18, an old name will not stay on your policy by accident.
One page that sums it up
You get a one-page summary of what you own, what you pay and what it covers. Keep it with your important papers so your family knows exactly where to start.
Help when a claim is filed
Your family will not go through a claim alone. We take them through it ourselves, from ordering a copy of the death certificate to completing the carrier's claim form.
What Sets the Price of Life Insurance
Before quoting a monthly price, every carrier checks the same few details. Those details show how likely a claim is and how long the carrier might hold the risk. They also explain why two quotes for the same amount of coverage can differ so much.
Once we review your age, your health and what the coverage needs to do, we give you a free quote by phone. The carrier sets the final price after underwriting is complete.
- Your age on the issue date
- Carriers price you by your age when the policy is issued, not when you first reach out. On a level premium, starting earlier keeps that lower rate for as long as the coverage lasts.
- Health and rating class
- Underwriters look at your medical history, prescriptions, height and weight, and they may ask for an exam or lab work. The rating class you are placed in often affects the price more than anything else on the application.
- Tobacco and nicotine use
- Smokers, vapers and other nicotine users are rated in a separate, more expensive class. Most carriers require a stretch of time nicotine-free before they will price you as a non-smoker.
- The amount and type of coverage
- A larger benefit raises the premium. At the same amount, whole life and other permanent policies cost more than term, since they never expire and they build cash value.
- The length of the term
- A 30-year term costs more per month than a 10- or 20-year term. The carrier is on the hook into your sixties and seventies, when claims are more common, and the price reflects that.
- Riders you add
- Extras like a waiver of premium or an accelerated benefit rider each have their own cost. We show what every one adds so you can judge whether it is worth keeping.
A Local Agency That Keeps Watching Your Coverage
Life Insurance Edwards is a local agency working with individuals and families. Each plan is built around your own needs and budget, and we talk it through in plain words with no pressure. You hear about every option, and you choose when the time is right for you.
We believe a policy you buy at 35 should still fit at 50. That means making sure the face amount still covers the mortgage and suits the kids' ages, that a term conversion option gets used before it runs out, and that the right people are still named. Keeping coverage current is the work we care about most.

Common Life Insurance Questions
- How much coverage should I buy?
- List what your family would have to pay: the rest of the mortgage, car loans, credit cards, final expenses and several years of lost income. Subtract your savings and any coverage through work. What is left is a sensible face amount, and we work through those numbers with you on the phone.
- Should I choose term life or whole life?
- Term life lasts for a set period you choose, such as 20 or 30 years, and has a lower monthly cost. Whole life does not expire while premiums are paid and builds cash value, so it costs more. Many families pair term coverage for the years with young kids and a mortgage with a smaller permanent policy for lifelong needs. We show you both together before you decide.
- Is a medical exam required?
- That depends on the carrier, the type of policy and the amount of coverage. Some applications call for a paramedical exam and lab work, and others rely on health questions plus a prescription history check. We tell you ahead of time what your carrier will ask for.
- What is covered in my yearly review?
- We schedule it for you each year. We confirm your beneficiaries are still correct, the face amount still fits your debts and family, and your premiums are paid up so the policy stays in force. If anything needs changing, we handle it with you.
- How does my family file a claim?
- Their first call is to us. We guide them through the claim ourselves, from getting a certified copy of the death certificate to completing the carrier's claim form. They will not be left to sort it out on their own.
- Do I have to buy a policy after getting a free quote?
- No. The quote is free and you are not committed to anything. We explain every option in plain words, and you choose when, or if, to go ahead.
- Is it possible to get covered without coming in?
- Yes. Virtual appointments are available, so your quote, application and yearly review can all be done by phone and video. You are also welcome to meet us at our office.
