What is life insurance?
Life insurance is basically a contract between the policyholder and the life insurance company. This contract, or life insurance policy as it is more commonly known, is an agreement between you and the life insurance company where the life insurance company promises to make payment of the face value of the policy, upon the death of the policyholder.
Affordable life insurance policies offer the policyholder’s dependents financial protection. The best life insurance option will depend on your personal circumstances. That’s where a life insurance agent or life insurance broker can help; a qualified life insurance agent/life insurance broker is key in helping you decide what types of life insurance will best meet your needs, and how much life insurance you should have; both which ultimately affect your final life insurance cost.
The types of life insurance
What types of life insurance are out there? Life insurance can be boiled down to two basic forms: Permanent Life Insurance and Term Life Insurance.
As the name suggests permanent life insurance is designed to cater to permanent needs. For the average person, these needs include supplementing a survivor’s income, as well as financial security for children who may remain dependent for their lifetimes due to disability or other factors. As a rule of thumb, permanent needs require permanent life insurance.
Term life insurance on the other hand, covers temporary needs. The primary examples include mortgage obligations and support for dependent children to maturity.
