Why life insurance is a gift to yourself and your loved ones

Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad. One cannot tell what the future might bring, but one can get ready for it. Life insurance is among the most powerful tools that guarantee your beloved ones are protected financially in any eventuality. It’s not only about money; this also pertains to peace of mind, responsibility, and legacy. Life insurance is a contract in which an insurer, in return for a premium, promises to pay an amount to the beneficiaries of an insured.

The sudden loss of a loved one can be emotionally devastating and also lead to financial challenges. Life insurance ensures that your family can maintain their standard of living, covering their daily expenses, mortgage payments, and even future needs like education. Life insurance can also save your family from the burden of debt like loans and credit card balances. It can also be a tool for building generational wealth, helping your family achieve long-term goals. Another advantage of having a life insurance is that the payouts are not taxable therefore, your beneficiaries do not have to report the money while filing tax returns.

Many life insurance providers offer endorsements, also known as riders, that one can add to their policy to enhance or adjust their coverage. An accelerated benefits rider allows one to access some or all of his/her death benefit before he/she passes away. Some policies allow one, when diagnosed with a terminal illness such as cancer, to utilize the death benefit while still alive in paying for his or her care. Another type of life insurance policy is a Long-Term Care riser that pays for expenses not covered by traditional health insurance, such as a home health-care worker, or nursing home care. For Business owners, life insurance may provide business continuation. Key-person insurance and buy-sell agreements are some policies that protect the business from financial instability due to the death of a key stakeholder or owner.

Life insurance, amidst the sea of uncertainties, stands tall to reassure you that your loved ones will be well taken care of, no matter what life throws your way.
