Why get life insurance?
Quite simply, it’s to ensure that your family and loved ones are taken care of even if you are no longer there to support and provide for them.
A life insurance policy is designed to pay out a cash lump sum if the person(s) insured dies during the term of the plan; this will guarantee that the beneficiaries will not be faced with financial difficulties even though they now face a loss of income.
Having the right level of Life Insurance in place gives you peace of mind and your family a financial safety net if they ever need it. There are different types of life insurance, so it's important to pick the right type for you.
