Learn more →Why Arizona Families Plan Ahead
In Phoenix, the median home is worth about $421,000 and the median household earns about $81,000 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.
About 12.2% 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.
Arizona taxes income, which makes tax-advantaged savings worth a look. Cash value in an IUL grows tax-deferred and can usually be reached through policy loans in retirement.

Life Insurance Rules in Arizona
Life insurance and annuities sold in Arizona are regulated by the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions. Before you buy, you can check that an agent is licensed in Arizona and get help with a complaint on its consumer help page.
If a life insurance company ever fails, the Arizona Life & Disability Insurance Guaranty Fund steps in for Arizona residents, up to these limits per person, per insurance company:
- $300,000 in life insurance death benefits
- $100,000 in life insurance cash value
- $250,000 in annuity value
That safety net is not the same as FDIC insurance, and amounts above the limits depend on the insurer. It is one reason we compare carriers by financial strength rating, and why people with very large amounts sometimes spread coverage across more than one insurer.
