Life insurance is a contract with an insurance company that helps financially protect your loved ones if you pass away. You pay your premiums, and, if you pass away while coverage is in place, the company pays a lump sum (called a death benefit) to your beneficiaries. This money can help them with things like funeral costs, rent or mortgage, day-to-day living expenses, education costs and more.
