Bill Sparks 2023William M. Sparks   1945 - 2023

My father, William (Bill) Sparks, passed away sadly but comfortably  Sunday morning, surrounded by his family. He was a kind and loving man with a heart of gold.  There are so many who loved him and will feel this loss –  in the business world and far beyond.  He would say thank you to all of his small-business customer for their support, and he would wish everyone peace and happiness. I have run the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency for many years now, and I will continue to run it just as my father did and as he would want me to do.  On behalf of my family, I thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and support at this time.   --- Danielle Sparks

Life Insurance for Student Loans?

We all know how burdensome student loans can be for college students. They can soar to six figures and sometimes take decades to pay off. Therefore, those who co-sign on such loans are taking on significant risk because, should the unthinkable happen and the student die, the co-signer is often responsible for repayment. Perhaps the answer which will offer protection and peace of mind is Life Insurance.

ErieSense.com says: “This is especially true for private loans: While many federal student loans let a borrower’s cosigners complete paperwork releasing them and the estate from the debt, many private student loans do not. What’s more, in community property states like Wisconsin, surviving spouses are often held responsible for a deceased spouse’s outstanding loans.”

Read the article to learn how life insurance can protect in the repayment of student loans.

Life Insurance Tip

Purchasing a Life Insurance policy to cover the life of a student loan is a prudent option, and a term life policy is typically the most logical way to go. Not only is it the most affordable in the short term, but the student or graduate can often convert the policy to a permanent policy later and begin to accumulate cash savings. Check with your insurance agent for all the details and to discuss which life insurance option would be best to pursue.
