Insurance Services
Life Insurance falls into two overall categories.
The first is Term Insurance, which offers lower premiums and protection for a limited time period. The second is Permanent Insurance, which requires higher premiums and offers cash values and death benefit protection that can continue throughout the insured’s lifetime. Guarantees, coverage periods, features and riders vary widely among all policies. The variation is greatest among permanent policies.
Among permanent products, Universal Life (UL) provides flexible premiums with relatively minimal guarantees. In some cases, UL policies offer supplemental guarantees, which can guarantee death benefit protection even after cash values expire. Adjustable Life policies offer varying guarantees based on the premium level. Whole Life policies (WL) provide lifetime guarantees for higher premiums. Whole Life premiums can be reduced by blending the Whole Life policy with a Term Rider or by using a modified premium structure (blended premiums). In either approach, some level of guarantee is sacrificed to obtain lower premiums.
Due to this wide variance in structure, options, riders, guarantees and assumptions, a premium or illustration comparison alone could be an inadequate and potentially misleading basis for comparison of life insurance policies.

Conversion Options and Flexibility
Understanding the conversion options and flexibility of term life insurance policies can be confusing. We can explain these features and advise on when and how to convert term policies to permanent insurance, ensuring that you maintain coverage as your needs evolve.
Coverage Gaps and Renewal Concerns
Prospective clients often worry about coverage gaps or the high cost of renewing term insurance as they age. We can review existing policies, recommend strategies to avoid coverage lapses, and help explore alternatives, such as laddering policies, to maintain adequate protection over time. |
Estate Tax Mitigation

As an estate planner, from time to time, I recommend insurance as a solution to solve a client’s problem. Being able to turn to John Williams for the product, which is in the client’s best interest, has allowed me to sleep nights. John has never disappointed me or my clients with an insurance product recommendation.
