    What else should you know?

    What does life insurance do?

    Life insurance pays a benefit to the named beneficiary when a covered death occurs under the policy. Families often use that money for living expenses, debts, or final costs; it is not limited to one purpose.

    Who should consider life insurance?

    Consider coverage when someone would face a financial gap if you died. That can include a dependent spouse, children, a co-borrower, or a person who would need to pay your final expenses.

    How can I work out a coverage amount?

    Build the amount from obligations rather than a headline multiplier. Add income support, debts, education and final expenses, then subtract resources actually available for those needs.

    What separates temporary and permanent coverage?

    Term insurance covers a defined period, while permanent coverage is designed to remain for life when its requirements are met. Permanent does not mean impossible to lapse: premiums, charges, and loans still matter.
