What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a financial product that provides a monetary payout to the designated beneficiaries upon the insured individual's death. It offers protection and financial security to loved ones after the policyholder's passing. By paying premiums, policyholders enter into a contract with an insurance company, ensuring that in the event of death, their beneficiaries will receive a predetermined sum of money. Life insurance can serve various purposes, such as covering funeral expenses, replacing lost income, settling outstanding debts, or funding future financial needs like mortgage payments or educational expenses. It provides peace of mind knowing that loved ones are financially protected and can maintain their standard of living in a challenging time.
