Life insurance can help provide for the people who financially depend on you if you can't be there for them. They can use the money for final expenses, to help replace your lost income, cover debts, pay your mortgage, fund your child's education at West Virginia University and more.

When a person dies, there is often a large gap between the financial needs of the person's dependents and the amount available from other sources, such as Social Security benefits, available cash and savings. Life insurance helps bridge that gap.

Most insurance companies in West Virginia offer several types of permanent life insurance policies to meet your needs:

Final expense life insurance is simple, affordable whole life insurance designed to cover expenses like medical bills, credit card debt and funeral costs. It can help protect your loved ones from future financial burdens. If you're aged 45 to 75, your insurance company cannot turn you down for health reasons. Final expense life insurance premiums and coverage amounts remain the same for the life of your policy.

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost of a funeral in 2012 was more than $7,000. Because WV has a higher standard of living than many states, your final expenses may be closer to the national median of $8,000.

If you become very ill during your final days, medical bills in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, can add up quickly. Final expense life insurance will help your West Virginia loved ones cope with their loss without financial worries.

Your quotes for life insurance in West Virginia depends on your age, your health and the size of the death benefit you want. It should be no surprise that the younger and healthier you are, the lower the premium you will find.

For example, a healthy 40-year-old man who buys a 20-year level term policy that has a fixed annual premium might get a quote of $350 a year to secure a $500,000 death benefit, according to CNN Money. A healthy 50-year-old man who buys the same policy might pay $1,000 a year. If he waits until he's 60, the policy may cost about $3,000 a year.

Quotes for cash value policies are much higher. For example, the healthy 40-year-old man who pays $350 a year for a $500,000 term policy would pay about $3,000 a year for a $500,000 universal life policy, in part because a portion of that $3,000 is going into the investment component of the policy. That's a huge difference.
