family members of the insured have some financial support in case of his demise but also to help create a savings plan for the insured’s future.
What types of life insurance can I get?
They are three main types of
life insurance to choose from. First of all, the life insurance that provides money following the death of the policyholder. Then, there is the critical illness insurance that provides a lump sum payment if the insured person suffers a serious illness or injury that’s covered under their policy. Finally, the disability policy that provides a lump sum benefit payment if the insured becomes permanently disabled and is unable to work.
How much does life insurance cost?
Costs vary greatly based on the level of risk a insurer considers you to be which considers factors such as your age, how much you smoke or drink, your health, your occupation, your gender and how much you’re insured for.
