Life Insurance


This is a contract or policy under which a death benefit is paid on the death of an insured person in exchange for periodic premium payments. There are two basic types of life insurance: term life insurance and permanent life insurance. Under permanent life insurance, in addition to death benefit coverage, the policy also accumulates a cash value, which you can borrow against or be paid (less any loans) if you surrender your policy. See also Term life Insurance, Whole Life Insurance, Interest Sensitive Whole Life Insurance and Universal Life Insurance.

Previous Term: Life Income with Period Certain Option Next Term: Life Only Option
