  • Single Mother With 2 Children To Support

    Your husband died. He made some provision for the family and you have readjusted pretty well. You still have a small mortgage on the house, your first born will soon be ready for college and the second will follow in a couple of years. You are quite proud of the job you did with them.

    Don’t buy that extra $250,000 of term life insurance that would guarantee that both children will finish college. I am sure you wouldn’t want the balance of the mortgage to be paid off if you should suddenly die.

    May be you have been fortunate with your investments and you have a couple million dollars that will be theirs. Estate taxes have been repealed.
