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.
