In Harris County, Texas, which includes Houston and is the most populous county in Texas, permanent life insurance usually comes up when the conversation moves past income replacement and toward estate, business, or lifelong family goals. Because permanent coverage costs more, many people buy only part of their total coverage as permanent and use term for the rest. For farm and ranch families, permanent coverage can provide cash at death so heirs can settle debts or costs without having to sell land or equipment in a hurry. Business owners sometimes use permanent coverage to fund a buy-sell agreement or to protect against the loss of a key person. Long-term planners in Harris County who want coverage that outlasts their working years often start by asking how much coverage they will want at 80 or 90, not just today.
