Life Insurance Basics

Life Insurance Network

What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a contract where you pay premiums to an insurance company, and in return, your beneficiaries receive a payout if you pass away.

What is term life insurance?

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period—such as 10, 20, or 30 years. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive a payout. It’s often a more affordable way to protect your loved ones for a set time frame.

Do I need life insurance?

If you’re married, have children or other dependents, own a home, or run a business, life insurance is likely a crucial protection you need.

What kind of life insurance do I need?

The right life insurance depends on your needs. Term life covers you for a set time, while whole life offers lifelong protection with cash value.

When should I get life insurance?

There are key milestones in life that often signal it’s time to get life insurance—such as getting married, having children, buying a home, or starting a business. Additionally, obtaining a new policy sooner rather than later can help you secure better rates and coverage.

I already have life insurance through work. Is it enough?

Having life insurance through your employer is a great start, but it often doesn’t provide enough coverage to fully protect your loved ones. Additionally, this coverage usually ends if you change or leave your job, which can leave you uninsured. That’s why it’s important to consider purchasing additional life insurance to ensure continuous and adequate protection.
