What is life insurance?
Life insurance provides a tax-free payout to your beneficiaries after your death. It’s designed to offer financial security, covering expenses like debts, funeral costs, and income replacement.
What are the main types of life insurance?
- Term Life Insurance: Coverage for a set term (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). Premiums are lower but do not build cash value.
- Whole Life Insurance: Lifetime coverage with higher premiums and a cash value component that grows over time.
- Universal Life Insurance: Flexible lifetime coverage combining insurance with investment opportunities.
Do I need life insurance if I don’t have dependents?
Life insurance can still be valuable for covering debts, funeral costs, or leaving a legacy for loved ones or charitable causes.
How much life insurance coverage do I need?
Coverage depends on factors like:
- Outstanding debts (e.g., mortgage).
- Income replacement for dependents.
- Education funds for children.
- Final expenses.
