    Life insurance helps your loved ones deal with the financial impact of your death. It provides them with a one-time, tax-free payment, called a death benefit. They may use the amount to:

    •replace your income to allow your family to maintain their standard of living

    •provide for your children or dependents

    •pay for your funeral expenses

    •pay off your debts

    •make a donation to charity

    Permanent life insurance gives you lifetime coverage. Your beneficiaries will get a death benefit if you die while your insurance policy is in effect.

    Permanent life insurance policies usually build up a cash value. This means you get a cash value back if you cancel your policy. The amount would be less than what you paid in premiums for the insurance costs.

    Term life insurance pays a death benefit if you die within a specific period.

    The length of your coverage is either for:

    •a fixed period, such as a term of 10 or 20 years, or

    •until you reach a set age, such as 65 years old

    If you die within the duration of your policy, your insurer will pay the death benefit to your beneficiaries. Once the term ends, the coverage ends, and your beneficiaries don’t receive any payment.

    Term insurance policies don’t include cash value. This means you can’t borrow against your policy. You also won’t get any cash value back if you cancel your policy. You might be able to renew certain term policies.

    A beneficiary is the person you name to receive your death benefit. You may name your spouse, another family member, a friend, or a charitable organization as beneficiary.

    You may name more than one beneficiary for your life insurance policy. If you do, your insurance company will divide the death benefit among them. You may assign different proportions of your life insurance benefits to each beneficiary.

    If the beneficiary is revocable, you may change the beneficiary at any time without telling them.

    If the beneficiary is irrevocable, you must have the irrevocable beneficiary's written permission before making beneficiary changes.
