Why It Matters

It's not really about insurance. It's about your family's future.

When the paycheck stops, whether from sickness or an untimely death, the world unfortunately keeps spinning, and the bills show up every month like clockwork.

Without a plan in place, your family carries the burden, draining their savings or turning to crowdfunding to get by.

Reviews

What our clients say

"I'm getting up there in age, and the thing that kept nagging at me was my kids getting stuck with my final expenses one day. I didn't want to leave them a bill, I wanted to leave them a little something instead. Kelsey was so patient and answered every question I had, even the silly ones. I'd recommend Crockett Hines to the whole state of Texas."

V. Jordan

"I'd been meaning to sort out life insurance for the longest time and kept putting it off because it all felt so complicated. Faith walked me through everything in a way that actually made sense to me. I don't know why I waited so long. I sleep a lot better now knowing it's taken care of."

Hope C.

"Making sure my kids wouldn't get stuck with my final expenses was something I'd been meaning to handle for a while. Kelsey laid out my options and got it all set up, no hassle. Feels good knowing it's done and my family's taken care of."

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions clients ask most.

What does life insurance actually do?

A life insurance policy pays a benefit to the people you choose if you pass away while the policy is active, in exchange for premiums you pay while you're living. How much it pays, how it's set up, and what it costs depend on the policy, the carrier, and your own eligibility.

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

Term coverage lasts for a set period. Whole life, a common type of permanent coverage, is built to last your whole life as long as premiums continue. The features and costs vary by carrier, and they're worth walking through together.

What is final expense coverage?

Final expense coverage is a smaller policy meant for funeral, burial, and other end-of-life costs. Many families use it alongside other coverage, not in place of it.

How do I know how much coverage I need?

There's no universal formula. It depends on your income, obligations, dependents, and goals. This is exactly the kind of question we work through together during a consultation, not something we'll guess at for you.

Will I be pressured to buy something during a consultation?

No. Our consultations are relaxed, no-pressure conversations. You're welcome to ask questions, take information away with you, and decide on your own timeline.

Does coverage vary by state?

Yes. Coverage options, carriers, and eligibility can vary by state, and underwriting requirements differ by individual. We'll always be upfront about what applies to your specific situation.

What is a beneficiary, exactly?

A beneficiary is the person, people, or purpose you designate to receive the policy's benefit. Most policies let you name more than one beneficiary and update your choices over time as your family or priorities change. It's worth revisiting this after major life events.

What happens if one of my beneficiaries passes away?

It depends on how your beneficiaries are set up. Most policies have primary beneficiaries and contingent, or backup, beneficiaries. If you named several primary beneficiaries and one passes away, that person's share usually splits among the surviving primary beneficiaries. Contingent beneficiaries typically receive the money only if all of the primary beneficiaries are gone. Some policies also let you choose "per stirpes," which passes a beneficiary's share to their own children instead. Because the result depends on how the designation is written, it's worth reviewing after any major life change, and we're glad to walk through your setup with you.

Will I need a medical exam or to answer health questions?

It depends on the type of policy and the carrier. Some coverage involves health questions or an exam as part of underwriting; other options are designed with simpler eligibility requirements. We'll walk through what applies to the options you're considering.

What can affect what I pay for coverage?

Generally, factors like age, health, the type and amount of coverage, and the carrier's own underwriting all play a role. We don't quote specifics until we understand your situation. Anything else would be a guess.

What happens if I stop paying premiums?

This varies by policy type and carrier, and can range from the policy ending to other options depending on how the policy is structured. It's an important question to ask about any specific policy before you commit to it, and one we're glad to walk through.

Can I have coverage through my employer and my own separate policy?

Often, yes. Many people carry both. Employer-provided coverage is generally tied to your job and may not move with you if you leave, which is one reason some people also consider a policy of their own. We can talk through how the two might work together for your situation.

When should I revisit my coverage?

Common moments to reconsider coverage include marriage, a new child, buying a home, a change in income, or a loved one becoming newly dependent on you. There's no obligation to change anything. It's a good checkpoint to ask whether your coverage still fits your life.

What actually happens when a claim is filed?

Generally, a beneficiary notifies the carrier, provides the requested documentation, and the carrier reviews the claim before making a determination. Kelsey's background as a claims adjuster is part of why we think this step matters. Understanding it in advance can make a difficult moment a little less confusing.

What should I ask before choosing a policy?

A few starting points: what triggers a payout, how long the coverage lasts, what could cause it to lapse, and whether the amount still fits your household's needs. We'd rather spend time on these questions with you than rush to a recommendation.
