Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance provider that pays a benefit to your chosen beneficiaries after your death, as long as the policy is active. The goal is to help reduce financial stress for loved ones during a difficult time.

Policies can vary widely in structure, duration, and benefits. Some are designed for long-term protection, while others focus on simpler, shorter-term coverage.
