Final Expense Insurance in Texas
Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy built for one job: making sure the cost of a funeral and final bills does not fall on your family. Coverage is simple to qualify for, premiums stay level, and the benefit is paid directly to your beneficiary.
How it works
- Smaller face amounts sized to funeral and end-of-life costs
- No medical exam on most policies, just a few health questions
- Premiums are typically locked in and the policy builds cash value
- Your beneficiary can use the money however they need
Three types of policies
| Type | Who it fits | Benefit from day one? |
|---|---|---|
| Level (immediate) | Reasonably good health | Yes, full benefit |
| Graded | Some health conditions | Partial in the early years, full after the graded period |
| Guaranteed issue | Serious health conditions; no health questions | Limited benefit for natural causes in the first two to three years |
