The importance of life insurance

Life insurance is crucial for protecting your loved ones and dependents in the event of your death. It is not for your personal benefit but rather to ensure financial security for your family. The main purpose is to provide a tax-free cash benefit to your designated beneficiaries upon your death. Term life insurance is a popular option as it offers coverage for a specific period of time, usually 10 to 25 years, at affordable premiums. Whole life insurance, on the other hand, combines insurance coverage with an investment component, making it more expensive. It is important to assess your financial situation and the needs of your dependents to determine the appropriate type and coverage of life insurance.
