What is life insurance?

​

Life insurance can be used to provide financial security and income for those you name as beneficiary, pay any debts and final expenses, or leave a legacy for future generations or charitable organizations that you care about.

In addition to the protection life insurance offers after your death, it can also support a sound financial plan while you’re alive. Permanent life insurance gives you the opportunity to grow cash value within your policy over time, which can help you achieve your financial goals – like supplementing your retirement income or paying for your children’s education. There are two types of permanent coverage: universal life insurance and participating life insurance.

Term life insurance is well-suited to shorter-term protection needs at a lower initial cost.
