Rules that apply in Arizona

  • Life insurance in Arizona is issued by state-licensed insurance companies, and contractual guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier.
  • Death benefits paid to a named beneficiary are generally free of federal income tax and usually pass outside probate.
  • Your price depends on age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount and term; the insurance company sets the final rate after underwriting.

Questions from Tucson

Can whole life dividends be used to buy more insurance?

On many participating policies, dividends can be directed into paid-up additional insurance, which may increase death benefit and cash value. Dividends are not guaranteed and depend on the carrier’s experience.

Is it worth getting a quote if I live in Tucson?

Life insurance prices depend on your age, health and the coverage you choose, not your city, so a Tucson resident generally pays the same rate as anyone else in Arizona with the same profile. You can compare prices online in a few minutes on our quote page.
