Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance is the most affordable type of life insurance. A term life policy is straightforward and often used to cover lost income to ensure your family can cover financial obligations like mortgage payments, college tuition, or managing a business. Term life coverage insures you for a specific amount of time. If you pass during that time frame, your beneficiary receives the policy pay out.

Insures you for a specific time, typically 10 to 30 years
Policy offers guaranteed premium for coverage term
Can be converted to a permanent product
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance is a permanent policy that covers you for your entire lifetime. Whole life is typically used for estate planning and protecting your wealth, as your assets are transferred to a beneficiary. Whole life does have higher annual premiums than term life coverage, but the costs don’t increase as you age, so it can effectively cost less over one lifetime.

Small Business Life Insurance
There are two different types of life insurance you need for your business. Key Man insurance is needed on the “key” people behind the company’s success – owners, founders, or top employees. A Buy-Sell Agreement is needed in any business, no matter that size, to know how to handle (and avoid) financial and tax problems in the event the owner dies, can’t work anymore, divorce, bankruptcy, sale or retirement. While Buy-Sell Agreements are vital for businesses with more than one owner, all businesses should consider it to prevent inner-family turmoil and the business’ collapse.
Key Man Insurance – Covers the monetary loss when the insured individual is not able to work or run the business. This policy also covers losses associated with hiring temporary employees, recruiting and employees training, compensating lost sales, and any guaranteed business loans.
Buy-Sell Agreement – Allows the business to continue in the event of a partial-owner’s death, retirement, or exit from the business. The agreement details the price the other business owner(s) will pay to purchase the departing owner’s percentage of the business. The policy’s death benefits go toward the purchase price.
Guaranteed Income For Special Needs
Our professional team understands that if you care for loved ones with special needs, those family members will need to be cared for once you’re gone. You can have peace of mind as we walk you through the steps of this permanent insurance protection that guarantees income to those family members after you’re gone.
CD Rollovers
As interest rates are often changing, it’s time to work with the TRIS team to rollover a Certificate of Deposit (CD) if you have one that is nearing its maturation date. It’s important to know that your financial institution may automatically rollover your CD at the end of the term unless you request otherwise. Your bank should advise you when your CD ends and if there’s an option to renew.
To ensure you’re making the best financial decision, compare rates before you rollover or renew a CD. The interest rate isn’t guaranteed to be that same, so it’s worth investigating other options. We can answer your questions about interest rates and help you decide which option is best when it’s time for a CD rollover.
