Life Insurance is an essential part of any financial plan and can provide various benefits for individuals, businesses, and dependents. Life insurance policies can help defend your loved ones financially in the event of your death, cover funeral expenses, provide an emergency fund if needed, preserve businesses after you’re gone, increase retirement income if necessary, and even give peace of mind knowing that your family will be taken care of in the event of a tragedy.

For individuals, life insurance can help pay off debts like mortgages or car loans when they pass away.
