Life insurance is a financial protection plan that provides a payout to designated beneficiaries when the policyholder passes away. It helps ensure financial security for loved ones by covering expenses such as funeral costs, outstanding debts, mortgage payments, and future living expenses. ![Life insurance](https://proriskinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Life%20insurance.png?width=600&height=377&name=Life%20insurance.png) ## How does life insurance work? A policyholder pays regular premiums to an insurance company in exchange for a death benefit that is paid out to beneficiaries upon their passing. The amount and duration of coverage depend on the type of policy chosen. - **Term Life Insurance –** Provides coverage for a set period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years) and pays a benefit if the policyholder passes away during that time. - **Whole Life Insurance** – Offers lifetime coverage with a guaranteed death benefit and builds cash value over time. - **Universal Life Insurance** – A flexible permanent policy that allows adjustments to premiums and coverage while accumulating cash value. - **Final Expense Insurance** – Designed to cover end-of-life expenses such as funeral costs and medical bills. ## Who needs life insurance?
