LIFE INSURANCE

With the right life insurance policy, you're supporting your family's financial future no matter what tomorrow brings. 

family-funAre you:

  • Concerned about leaving your loved ones with a financial burden

  • Sure about the amount of life insurance coverage you need?

  • Not happy with your current life insurance policy?

  • Familiar with all the details and choices available?

As one of the leading life insurance companies in Santa Cruz, we help you determine the right policy for your situation, and we tailor it to suit your family's financial needs

When You Work With Us, We Help You:

Understand how to buy life insurance

Perhaps you’re not sure what term vs. whole life insurance means or you just want help determining how much coverage you need. Either way, we walk you through the process step by step.

Protect your family's future

Life can change in an instant. If you have a spouse, children and other loved ones, we help you protect their financial future.

Save money

We provide highly competitive life insurance quotes giving you access to the best rates in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

 

Understanding Different Types of Life Insurance

There are two different types of life insurance available to protect your family's financial future. We explain the differences between term life and whole life insurance so that you can make the best choice for you and your loved ones with complete confidence.

Universal Life insurance

A Universal Life policy is designed to meet your needs in ways that other policies can't match.

With a Universal Life Policy, you can:

  • Accumulate tax-deferred savings
  • Vary your premiums
  • Vary your benefit
  • Suspend payments periodically

Universal Life allows you the flexibility to make changes as your life circumstances change without having to modify your life insurance policy.

Universal Life locks in your insurability now while you're healthy. As it protects your loved ones, it builds cash for your future.

Ask us about a personal Life Insurance Review. We help you determine the amount of coverage you need and show you how simple it is to get started!

Term Life Insurance

Term Insurance covers you for a specified period of time. You can purchase a policy that covers one or five years, and term policies covering 10 or 20 years are also available. However, you must renew the policy when the term expires, and a renewal rate is usually much higher than the original rate. 

Term Insurance only pays a death benefit if you die during the covered period of time. It comes with specific rules about when and how you can renew the policy.

Term Insurance normally NEVER builds cash value.

Term Insurance does have one advantage. It usually provides the highest death benefit for the lowest premium.

Ask us about which life insurance policy is the best for you and your loved ones.

I have dealt with many insurance agencies and insurance agents over the years and there are a few that stand out because of their character and excellence.Clayton Carter is such an agent.When you meet people that take their own initiative to go out of their way to help you understand or achieve something, this has been my experience every time with Clayton.The insurance industry is complex and Clinton has the ability to take a complex issue and make it easy to understand. That is just one of the many great things about him, however, I would say the number one thing about Clayton that stands out to me is that I've never had to prompt him to parse the information down and help me understand what I need to know to make smart decisions and potentially save me time and money.Thank you again, Clayton, for the insight and value you bring to the table.Will--William S.

Karen and Diamond at Allanson Insurance Agency are absolutely awesome. We needed some documents urgently and rather than giving the stock answer of "It takes 3 to 4 business days" Karen dove in to see how she could expedite things and to our delight, we had the documents available the next day! Very happy with all aspects of Allanson Insurance.read more

Will was more than helpful in securing a policy for our home (located in a high fire area) in Aptos. The previous policy could not be renewed due to the recent fires, Will was able to get a new policy written in a matter of days. He kept us in the loop through the entire process and ultimately was able to get us better coverage than we had under the last policy. I would highly recommend giving Will a call if you are in need of new homeowners insurance.read more
