Life Insurance Conversations That Start With Your Needs
Life insurance can serve different purposes at different stages of life. Eric James Insurance Agency helps Nevada customers discuss available life insurance options by starting with the people who depend on them, the obligations they would want addressed, and the period of time they want protection to last. Policy availability, underwriting, benefits and costs depend on the product and applicant.

Las Vegas · NevadaStart with the people and responsibilities you want to protect — not a product label
Term and permanent life insurance are designed for different planning needs. The useful starting point is not a product label—it is who depends on you, which obligations you want considered and how long those needs may continue.
01 · Life
Term and permanent coverage solve different planning problems
Term insurance is generally designed to provide coverage for a defined period, while permanent life insurance is designed for longer-term protection and may include additional policy features depending on the product. Neither category is automatically better. The right conversation begins with what you are trying to accomplish.

Questions to think about before the meeting
- Who depends on your income or financial support?
- What debts or housing obligations would you want considered?
- Would childcare, education or other family responsibilities continue after your death?
- How long do you expect those obligations to last?
- Do you already have employer-provided or personally owned life insurance?
- Who are your intended beneficiaries, and when were they last reviewed?

Life changes are a good reason to review beneficiaries and coverage
Marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, a new home, business ownership, retirement planning, a major change in income, or the loss of employer-sponsored benefits can all be reasons to review existing life insurance. Updating beneficiary designations and ownership arrangements can involve legal or tax consequences, so customers should use qualified legal or tax advisers when appropriate.

What this page does not do
This page does not recommend a specific policy amount, promise approval, quote a sample premium, provide tax or legal advice, or claim that one type of life insurance is appropriate for everyone. Those questions require the applicant's facts, product information, underwriting and—when appropriate—other professional advice.
Frequently asked questions
Questions people commonly ask
What is the difference between term and permanent life insurance?
Term coverage generally lasts for a defined period. Permanent coverage is designed for longer-term protection and may include additional features depending on the policy. Product details, costs and eligibility vary.
How much life insurance do I need?
There is no single amount that fits everyone. A useful starting point is to identify who depends on you, which obligations you want addressed and how long those needs may continue.
Can you guarantee I will qualify?
No. Life insurance is subject to product availability, application requirements and underwriting.
Should I replace an existing life policy?
Replacing life insurance can have important consequences. Review the existing policy, surrender values, contestability periods, costs and the new policy terms before making a change. Do not cancel existing coverage until any replacement decision has been fully reviewed and the new coverage is in force as appropriate.
