A Whole Life Policy offers lifelong protection. Whole life insurance helps your family prepare for the unexpected.

Over time, whole life policies build cash value that grows tax-deferred. Money may be withdrawn from the whole life policy during your lifetime. As long as your premiums are paid as required, your policy will be in force. We offer Whole Life policies that can be paid with a single premium, premiums payable to 100, or premiums payable up to a limited number of years. Policy loans do accrue interest, and any outstanding policy loans and interest will reduce the death benefit and cash value.
Universal Life Insurance premiums are paid into your policy’s account value, after a premium expense charge, where it earns interest. Monthly deductions from the account value are made for insurance protection. You may take loans or withdrawals from the account value for your personal needs. Typical uses for universal life insurance are to provide for loss of income, mortgage expenses and educational needs; access to cash; estate, special needs and business planning.
The type of insurance you select depends on the number of people who depend on you.

What determines the cost of your homeowners insurance premium? Your premium will vary based on things like the age of your home, the condition your home is in, its construction materials, and its location. We expect older homes to cost more to insure, and wood homes cost more to insure than those built of brick. Your credit history is a factor, crime statistics in Connecticut, your claims history, and whether you have a dog and what breed it is.
Fire and lightning coverage is included in most standard policies, but read your policy carefully to make sure this important coverage is not excluded. You should also ask your agent or broker if damage caused by perils associated with fire, such as smoke or damage caused by fire extinguishing agents, is covered under your policy.
Personal Property that you own that needs a greater amount of coverage than the rest of your belongings – items such as the family silver, antiques, heirloom items – should be itemized in a scheduled personal property endorsement. By scheduling your irreplaceable valuables, you can recoup the potential loss of these items.
