🍂 Welcome to September at the Tez Adams Insurance Agency! 🍁

***Added Events*** It's starting to become a busy September

As the leaves change colors (Northern AZ), the air turns crisp, and the desert landscape embraces a new color palette...we are excited to kick off this month by spreading awareness about an important topic - Life Insurance! September is recognized as Life Insurance Awareness Month, and we are here to help you understand the significance of protecting your loved ones and securing their financial future.

Life insurance serves as a safety net, providing financial support to your family and dependents in the event of your passing. It offers confidence, ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of during challenging times.

At the Tez Adams State Farm Insurance Agency, we believe in empowering our customers with knowledge and assisting them in making informed decisions. Throughout this month, we will be sharing valuable information about life insurance and how we can personalize a policy to meet your specific needs. We will also address common misconceptions and answer any questions you may have.

Our team of experienced insurance professionals is here to guide you through the process of selecting the right life insurance policy for you and your family. We understand that everyone's situation is unique, and we will work closely with you to design a policy that aligns with your goals and priorities.

Starting a family?

Planning for retirement?

Small Business Protection?

Leaving a legacy?

An important part of future plans, is insurance to protect the things you love most. It's never too early or too late to explore your options and take steps to safeguard your loved ones' future.

Join us this September as we raise awareness about the importance of life insurance.

Remember, at the Tez Adams Insurance Agency, we are committed to assisting you every step of the way. Your tranquility is our priority.

LIFE INSURANCE MYTH vs TRUTH:

Myth: "I'm young and healthy, so I don't need life insurance."

Truth: Life insurance is not just for older individuals or those with health issues. In fact, getting life insurance at a younger age and in good health can result in lower cost. Life is unpredictable, and having a policy in place can provide financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your untimely passing.
