What’s Life Insurance?
Life insurance provides a financial payout upon the death of the insured party. If the policy is in your name, it will pay upon your death.
When a payout occurs, a beneficiary whom you name in the policy will receive a financial settlement, which can help them cover essential costs. Therefore, you can use life insurance to shore up your survivors’ financial solvency following your passing.

Term plans last a set number of years. Coverage will issue payment if you die during the term.

When you choose a plan, you can name the sum you want to leave behind. Work with one of our agents to set up an appropriate framework for the use of the money. You might need to establish trusts or other beneficiary stipulations to govern payouts.
