What is life insurance?
Life insurance is an agreement by an insurance company to pay a specified sum when someone dies. The agreement is a contract between the insured person and the insurance company that provides the insurance. If the insured dies while the life insurance policy is in force, then the life insurance company pays the death benefit according to the beneficiary designations that the insured has provided.
When a life insurance plan is made, it is important to plan for more than simply replacing lost income. A good life insurance plan also covers funeral expenses, payment of outstanding dept, probate costs, childcare expenses, elderly care, and taxes. When children are involved it is also important to plan for their future college expenses as well as your spouse's retirement.
