For those who feel responsible for their partners, or have dependents that they wish to keep financially secure, life insurance offers the opportunity to give something to loved ones after passing away. Life insurance is a financial vehicle that can act as investment, savings account and as a security all at once.

Who needs life insurance?
Life insurance is not mandatory but most people choose to have life insurance as it offers a way of securing the financial future of your dependants after you have passed away. When a person passes away, if they have left a will their assets are passed on to their beneficiaries. What many people don’t realize is that liabilities are also passed on in the same way. Some money lenders may waive debts in the event of death but some pursue the beneficiaries of the deceased estate. Life insurance normally can pay out outstanding mortgages, any outstanding business debts and even outstanding school fees.

What typically does a life insurance policy cover?
Life insurance comes in a number of forms but broadly there are two types, permanent life insurance and term life insurance. Permanent life insurance give you guaranteed death benefits even if you become ill shortly after applying for your policy. A permanent life insurance policy also has cash value so you can draw down from that sum if you wish, however, this does affect your payout on death.
Term life insurance also has a guaranteed death benefit for your beneficiaries but has no life time cash value. You are also only covered for the specific term of the policy.
Once you have begun paying premiums, and as long as you continue paying them, you are fully covered in the event of death.

What typically does a life insurance policy not cover?
Term life insurance is a contract with the insurer based on a specific time frame. If you die soon after the expiration of the contract your beneficiaries receive nothing. Life insurance companies normally won’t issue a policy if you have a pre-existing condition, so once you have a policy, a claim is more or less guaranteed in the event of death.

Additional insurance products that policy holders might need in this area
Life insurance only covers you in the event of death. There are some other benefits that can be realized when you are still alive but those are minimal. To truly ensure that your beneficiaries are catered for in the event of an issue you will want to be fully up-to-date with your medical insurance and your disability insurance.
