Life insurance

What Is Life Insurance?

Life insurance is for the loved ones you leave behind.

Life insurance is not for you

It is for the loved ones you leave behind. It provides money to the people you choose after you die.

A $250,000 example

Imagine that you own a $250,000 policy and name your spouse as beneficiary. When you die and the claim is approved, the insurance company pays your spouse $250,000. The death benefit is generally paid income-tax-free.
