    Life insurance is intended to provide some monetary assistance in the event that the insured passes away while covered. Life insurance is typically meant as a way for the family of the insured to be financially capable of moving on after the loss. The funds from the policy are intended to help provide for those things that could have possibly been provided (i.e. pay off debt, pay for college, etc...) by the insured if the insured had not passed. This is a very limited explanation of life insurance, contact a local agent to discuss your wants and needs with this type of coverage.

    Life insurance covers the death of the insured person, by making a payment to the beneficiary or beneficiaries named on the insured person's policy. The death is covered whether it is caused by illness, injury, or "old age". Even suicide is covered in the later years of the policy.

    Although called “life insurance,” it actually covers the loss that occurs at death. It may have supplemental riders that would also include benefits if you become disabled but the basic benefit is at your death. The policy is designed to help those that you love cope with your death. It is the sincerest way that you can say, “I love you.”

    Life insurance is designed to pay a determined benefit amount upon the death of the insured. Any cause of death is typically covered except suicide within the first two years of the policy. If it can be proved that fraud was committed in obtaining the policy then only the amount of premiums paid will be returned to the beneficiary.
