Life Insurance
What is Life insurance?

Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policyholder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the death of an insured person.

Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger payment.

The policyholder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.
-
The benefits may include other expenses, such as funeral expenses.
