Life Insurance Explained
Life insurance is a promise between the insurance company and you, the policy owner. When you pay an agreed upon amount of money to our insurance company, we will pay a certain amount of money to the person you tell us to when the person whose life is being insured passes away.

Premium: the amount of money the policy holder pays for insurance
Death Benefit: the amount of money the insurance company pays to the beneficiary
Beneficiary: the person receiving the death benefit named by the policy holder

There are many types of life insurance, CIMXag offers:
Mack Hales
Consultant
Mack Hales has spent the past 4 decades helping clients prepare for retirement and manage their finances successfully.

We involve the client’s CPA and/or their tax attorney to be sure the programs meet the proper tax codes. Working with clients, we work with them to customize a plan that is centered around their needs and preferences. Our goal is to help the client retire worry free with as much tax-free income as possible. Mack has resided in Gainesville, GA since 1983, so this is considered home.
