A smart decision for the future
Will I be able to maintain my lifestyle after retiring? Do I need to continue working? How can I protect my family and my legacy? There’s a lot to think about when it comes to retirement; and life insurance should be part of the solution.
Like traditional 401Ks, mutual funds and other investment vehicles, life insurance is a smart way to ensure you’re financially secure when you’re no longer working. Here’s how: It can provide funds to make sure your retirement savings are on track should your spouse pass away, offer additional income after retirement so you can maintain (and enjoy) your lifestyle, and protect your estate and legacy by providing a tax-free death benefit, among other things.*
What are your financial responsibilities?
- Do you have a mortgage on a second home?
- Do you plan to leave an estate for your children or grandchildren?
- Could your spouse live the same lifestyle on your retirement income?
Options for you
Term Life Insurance
Some financial responsibilities can increase in retirement, like buying a vacation home. Term life is a lower cost option that provides the financial protection you need for a set period of time (10-, 15-, or 20-years). You can customize the amount of coverage and the duration of your policy to meet your specific needs.
Permanent Life Insurance
Permanent life insurance gives you coverage for as long as you live, plus a cash value component that can provide regular income so you can enjoy your retirement. It can also help you protect your legacy for your loved ones. There are many types of permanent products such as universal life, indexed universal life and variable life products.

* Life insurance death benefit proceeds are generally excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income for income tax purposes. There are few exceptions such as when a life insurance policy has been transferred for valuable consideration. Comments on taxation are based on John Hancock’s understanding of current tax law, which is subject to change.

Accessing a policy’s potential cash value via loans and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and the cash surrender value, and may cause the policy to lapse. Lapse or surrender of a policy with a loan may cause the recognition of taxable income. Withdrawals in excess of the cost basis (premiums paid) will be subject to tax and certain withdrawals within the first 15 years may be subject to recapture tax. Additionally, policies classified as modified endowment contracts may be subject to tax when a loan or withdrawal is made. A federal tax penalty of 10% may also apply if the loan or withdrawal is taken prior to age 59 1/2.
