Life Insurance in West Lake Hills

In West Lake Hills, the median home is worth about $2 million and the median household earns about $250,000 a year. For most families the mortgage is the biggest bill, so a good starting point is term coverage that would pay off the house and replace several years of income if a paycheck stopped.

With home values this high, many households also add permanent coverage, such as an IUL or whole life policy, to leave money to the next generation and build cash value they can use later.

About 15.2% of residents are 65 or older. If you are close to retirement, an annuity can turn savings into steady income, and a final expense policy can keep funeral costs off your children.

Texas does not tax wages, so more of each paycheck can go toward protection and savings. Cash value in an IUL can add another tax-advantaged source of retirement income.
