Understanding how life insurance works and how to shop for a policy can help you find the best coverage to meet your family’s needs.
Our Life insurance is a contract between an insurance company and a policy owner in which the insurer guarantees to pay a sum of money to one or more named beneficiaries when the insured person dies. In exchange, the policyholder pays premiums to the insurer during their lifetime. The best life insurance companies have good financial strength, a low number of customer complaints, high customer satisfaction, several policy types available, optional riders, and easy application processes.
Types of Life Insurance
Many different types of life insurance are available to meet all sorts of consumer needs and preferences. Depending on the short- or long-term needs of the person to be insured (or their family members), the choice of whether to select temporary or permanent life insurance will be a major consideration.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance is designed to last a certain number of years, and then end. You choose the term when you take out the policy. Common terms are 10, 20, or 30 years. The best-term life insurance policies balance affordability with long-term financial strength.
