Life Insurance to Protect What Matters Most
Guidance for Families
Life insurance in Indiana—and across the U.S.—helps ensure your loved ones are supported if the unexpected happens. The Mitchell Agency designs term, whole, and universal policies for real households statewide and nationwide, matching coverage to your goals and budget with options for young families, homeowners, and retirees. As an independent agency, we compare multiple carriers to help you secure the right protection at a fair price.
Term life insurance offers coverage for a set period-often 10, 20, or 30 years-at a typically lower cost per dollar of protection. It's a smart way to cover temporary needs like a mortgage, income replacement while kids are in school, or debts that will diminish over time. We'll help you select a term length and benefit amount that match your timeline.
Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage with level premiums and a cash value component that grows over time. Many families use whole life for lifelong protection, final expenses, or legacy planning, and value the ability to borrow against cash value if needed. We'll review riders and policy features to tailor a plan that lasts.

Answers to Common Life Insurance Questions
What type of life insurance should I get?
Term life is typically best for large, temporary needs at a lower cost; whole life provides permanent protection with cash value. We'll map your goals and budget to the right structure.
Term vs. whole life-which is better?
Neither is universally better; it depends on purpose and time horizon. Many families pair an affordable term policy for peak years with a smaller whole life policy for lifelong coverage.
How much life insurance do I need for my family?
A common starting point is 5-10 times income plus debts and future expenses like college. We'll complete a personalized needs analysis for a precise number.
Can I get coverage if I have health issues?
Often yes. We work with multiple carriers, and some offer simplified or no-exam underwriting for certain amounts; we'll guide you on realistic options and pricing.
How long does it take to get life insurance quotes?
Many quotes are available the same day once we have basic information. Underwriting time varies by carrier and plan type, but we keep the process organized and transparent.
