Life Insurance is a type of insurance that provides financial protection to beneficiaries upon the death of the insured person or after a specified period. Its main purpose is to ensure financial security for dependents, cover debts, or serve as a savings and investment tool.
Main Components of Life Insurance
1. Term Life Insurance
Provides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). If the insured dies during the term, beneficiaries receive the payout.
2. Whole Life Insurance
Offers lifetime coverage and includes a savings (cash value) component that grows over time.
3. Credit Life Insurance
Covers outstanding loans if the borrower dies or becomes permanently disable.
