The Basics of Life Insurance

Writer: Charlotte BurrCharlotte Burr

Updated: 5 days ago

Life insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company that grants one or

more selected individuals (beneficiaries) a sum of money when you pass away. The purpose of

life insurance is to financially support loved ones after your death. Although it is not mandatory,

many people choose to pay a premium price for ease of mind, especially to those who have

partners, children, or large expenses in the future.


Life Insurance Policies Fall Into Two Categories:


Term Life Insurance - Provides protection within a designated time period (ex: 10 years). This

type of contract is a great first step into life insurance, as it is generally more affordable.


Permanent Life Insurance- Provides protection without an expiration date and ensures lifelong

coverage, if premiums are paid. The three most common types of permanent life insurance are:

whole, universal, and variable.


The Cost of Life Insurance Can Vary Depending On:


● Age and Health

● Lifestyle

● Type of Coverage

● Insurance Companies
