Life insurance is a contract between an individual and an insurance company, where the insurance company agrees to pay a specified amount of money to the individual’s beneficiaries upon the individual’s death.

There are two main types of life insurance: term life insurance and permanent life insurance. Term life insurance provides coverage for a specified period of time, while permanent life insurance provides coverage for the individual’s entire lifetime.

The amount of life insurance a person needs depends on several factors, including their age, income, debts, and the needs of their beneficiaries.

It is important to consider factors such as your age, income, debts, and the needs of your beneficiaries when choosing a life insurance policy. Consulting with a financial advisor or insurance agent can also be helpful.

To apply for life insurance, you will need to complete an application and undergo a medical exam. The insurance company will also review your health history and other factors to determine your eligibility and premium.

The cost of your life insurance premium will depend on several factors, including your age, health, lifestyle, and the type and amount of coverage you choose.

Yes, you can change your life insurance policy by adding or removing beneficiaries, adjusting the amount of coverage, or switching to a different policy.

If you stop paying your life insurance premium, your coverage will typically lapse, and your beneficiaries will no longer be eligible to receive the death benefit.

The contestability period is typically the first two years of a life insurance policy. If you die during this period, the insurance company may investigate your death to ensure that you did not provide false information on your application.

Generally, the death benefits from life insurance policies are not taxable. However, if the policy is transferred for valuable consideration, such as selling the policy, there may be tax implications. It is important to consult with a tax professional to understand your specific tax situation.
