Life insurance is a financial product that provides a death benefit to the policyholder's beneficiaries upon the policyholder's death. The death benefit can be used to cover a wide range of expenses and risks, including:
Final expenses: The death benefit can be used to cover expenses such as funeral costs, burial expenses, and outstanding debts.
Lost income: The death benefit can be used to replace the income that the policyholder provided to their family or to cover expenses that were dependent on the policyholder's income, such as mortgage or rent payments.
Education expenses: The death benefit can be used to cover the cost of education for the policyholder's children or dependents.
Business protection: A business owner may purchase life insurance to provide financial protection for the business in the event of their death, such as to cover the cost of finding a replacement or to fund a buy-sell agreement.
Estate planning: The death benefit can be used to pay estate taxes and other expenses associated with the transfer of the policyholder's assets to their beneficiaries.
Charitable giving: The death benefit can be used to make charitable gifts or donations, either through the policyholder's will or through a charitable trust.
