FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much life insurance do I need in Fort Lauderdale?

A common benchmark is 10–15× your annual income, plus enough to cover your mortgage, children’s education, and any debts. For most Fort Lauderdale families, that’s $500K–$1.5M in term life — often for less than $40/month if purchased young and healthy.

What's the difference between term and whole life insurance?

Term life covers a set period (10, 20, or 30 years) with the lowest premiums — ideal for income replacement and mortgage protection. Whole life is permanent coverage that builds cash value you can borrow against. Most Fort Lauderdale families use term as the foundation and add whole or universal life for estate and legacy planning.

Can I qualify for life insurance if I have a health condition?

Yes. ITW works with carriers that specialize in coverage for diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and other common conditions. As an independent agent, we shop your case across multiple carriers to find the best rate for your health profile.

How fast can I get life insurance in Florida?

Some no-exam policies can be approved within 24–72 hours. Traditional underwriting with a paramedical exam typically takes 3–6 weeks. We help you choose the fastest path that still gets you the right price.

What is universal life insurance?

Universal life is a flexible permanent policy that combines a death benefit with a cash value account. You can adjust premiums and death benefit over time — useful for Fort Lauderdale professionals whose income and needs change year to year.

Should I bundle life insurance with health coverage?

You don’t have to, but many ITW clients enroll in both at the same time so their entire family is protected under one licensed agent. It also simplifies renewals and beneficiary updates.

Is life insurance taxable in Florida?

The death benefit paid to your beneficiaries is generally income-tax free at the federal level, and Florida has no state income tax. That’s one reason life insurance is such an efficient way to leave money to loved ones in Fort Lauderdale.

What happens to my term life policy when the term ends?

You can typically convert to a permanent policy without a new medical exam (if you convert before a specified age), let coverage lapse, or shop for new term coverage. We schedule reviews with clients well before their term ends so there are no surprises.
