Term Life

Coverage for a set period such as 10, 20, or 30 years. Often chosen to match a mortgage or the years kids are at home. Budgets go further, and you can layer policies for changing needs.

Whole Life

Lifelong coverage with level premiums and cash value that builds over time. Useful for long-term goals, legacy planning, or final expenses. We will compare options so you see costs and benefits side by side.

How Much Coverage Makes Sense

There is no one number for every household. We look at income replacement, debts, college plans, and what you already have through work. A clear needs analysis gives you a starting point, and we adjust as life changes like a new baby, a home purchase, or a business launch.

Options For Every Stage

Young families often start with term. Empty nesters may add a smaller permanent policy for final expenses. Business owners can consider coverage to fund a buy-sell agreement or protect key people who keep operations running. As an independent agency, Wohltman-Aherin Insurance compares carriers and explains underwriting so you know what to expect.
