Whether you're looking to protect your young family, replace income, cover debts, plan your estate, or create a lasting legacy, our experienced agents can help you find the right coverage for your situation.

Types of Life Insurance We Offer

PFSA provides four main types of life insurance coverage, each designed to meet different financial goals and life stages. Our knowledgeable agents can help you understand which option is right for your unique situation.

Whole Life Insurance

"Protect your family for a lifetime"

Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage that lasts your entire lifetime. It builds cash value over time that you can borrow against or use for retirement. Premiums remain level and predictable, making it easier to budget for the future.

  • Permanent lifetime coverage
  • Builds cash value over time
  • Level, predictable premiums
  • Tax-deferred growth potential

Term Life Insurance

"Affordable Protection"

Term life insurance offers affordable coverage for a specific period of time—typically 10, 20, or 30 years. It's an excellent choice for those who need substantial coverage at a lower cost, especially during peak earning and family-raising years.

  • Most affordable coverage option
  • Coverage for specific time periods
  • Ideal for temporary needs
  • Convertible options available

Universal Life Insurance

"Protect your family for a lifetime"

Universal life insurance is a flexible permanent insurance option that allows you to adjust your premiums and death benefit as your needs change. It also accumulates cash value that can be accessed during your lifetime.

  • Flexible premium payments
  • Adjustable death benefit
  • Cash value accumulation
  • Adapts to changing needs

Wealth Transfer

"A Legacy for your Family"

Wealth transfer insurance is designed for estate planning purposes, helping you pass on assets to the next generation efficiently. It's an effective tool for preserving wealth and creating a lasting legacy for your loved ones.

  • Estate planning focused
  • Preserve family wealth
  • Create a lasting legacy
  • Tax-efficient inheritance

Why Do You Need Life Insurance?

Life insurance serves many important purposes beyond just providing a death benefit. Here are some of the key reasons why life insurance is an essential part of your financial plan:

  • Young Families: Fund your children's education and provide for living expenses if something happens to you.
  • Income Replacement: Continue your family's finances and maintain their standard of living after the loss of a breadwinner.
  • Debt Protection: Cover mortgages, car loans, and other outstanding debts so your family isn't burdened.
  • Estate Planning: Manage final expenses and preserve assets for the next generation.
  • Charitable Giving: Make meaningful donations to causes you care about through policy death benefits.
  • Business Continuity: Use as an employee retention tool or fund buy/sell agreements for business owners.
  • Retirement Income: Use tax-deferred cash value as supplemental retirement funds.

Additional Financial Products

In addition to life insurance, PFSA offers other financial products to help you build a secure future for yourself and your family:

  • Annuities – IRA: Tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts to help you build a nest egg.
  • SEP IRAs: Retirement plans designed specifically for self-employed individuals and small business owners.
  • Educational Savings: Accounts designed to help you save for your children's or grandchildren's education.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (like 10, 20, or 30 years) at lower premiums, but has no cash value. Whole life insurance provides permanent, lifetime coverage with level premiums and builds cash value over time that you can borrow against or use for retirement.

  • The amount of coverage you need depends on several factors including your income, debts, number of dependents, and financial goals. A common rule of thumb is 10-12 times your annual income, but our agents can help you determine the right amount based on your specific situation.

  • Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that offers flexibility in premium payments and death benefits. Unlike whole life, you can adjust your coverage and premiums as your needs change. It also builds cash value that grows based on current interest rates.

  • Wealth transfer insurance is designed specifically for estate planning purposes. It helps you efficiently pass assets to the next generation while potentially minimizing estate taxes. It's an effective tool for preserving family wealth and creating a lasting legacy.

  • Many term life insurance policies include a conversion option that allows you to convert to a permanent policy (like whole life or universal life) without providing evidence of insurability. Contact your PFSA agent to learn about the conversion options available with your policy.

  • As a PFSA member, you're part of a fraternal organization that offers more than just insurance. Benefits include scholarship programs, community involvement opportunities, access to educational savings accounts, and the support of a community dedicated to helping one another.
