Life insurance is a financial product designed to provide financial protection to beneficiaries upon the insured person's death. There are several types of life insurance policies, each with unique features and benefits. Below is an overview of the main types, their benefits, and examples to help you understand which might suit your needs.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED LIFE INSURANCE?

Determining whether you need life insurance depends on your personal and financial situation. Consider the following factors:

  • Dependents: If you have family members or others who rely on your income, life insurance can provide financial security for them.

  • Debt and Financial Obligations: Life insurance can help cover outstanding debts, such as a mortgage, car loans, or credit card balances, so your loved ones are not burdened.

  • Income Replacement: If your income supports your household, life insurance can replace that income to maintain your family’s lifestyle.

  • Final Expenses: Life insurance can cover funeral and burial costs, easing the financial burden on your family.

  • Estate Planning: It can help with estate taxes or provide an inheritance for your heirs.

  • Business Protection: If you own a business, life insurance can protect your business interests and ensure continuity.
