Do you think life insurance with living benefits is worth the extra money?
John, I have no idea what you are talking about, you say.
Wait. Have you heard about life insurance with living benefits?
If you don’t know what living benefits are, don’t worry. I will explain what they are in more detail.

Massachusetts residents who possess long-term care insurance are granted a unique provision. The provision is the only of its kind in the nation.
Let’s back up a bit. You’ve probably heard about people losing their homes during the estate recovery process.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid estimate that 7 out of 10 people age 65 will need some type of long-term care (i.e., home health care, assisted living, or nursing home care.) If you are 50 or older (or a tad younger), you probably know of people who are dealing with the burden of caregiving for their parents or loved ones in LTC situations. We know caregiving can be one of the most excruciating situations in a person’s life. Maybe you are dealing with it yourself? Have you been thinking about your own long-term care yourself? What will happen if you need long-term care?
