Life Insurance
Life insurance provides a death benefit that can help protect the financial future of an individual's dependents. For example, if a breadwinner passes away, the payout can cover daily living expenses, mortgage payments, education costs for children, and other financial obligations, ensuring that loved ones remain financially secure. Additionally, riders can be added to provide additional living benefits.
The examples below illustrate the multifaceted role life insurance can play in an individual’s financial planning and security, not just for themselves but also for their loved ones.
Debit Repayment
In the event of an individual's death, life insurance proceeds can be used to pay off outstanding debts such as personal loans, credit card bills, or mortgages. This prevents loved ones from being burdened by these debts during a time of grief. For example, a couple with a mortgage could have peace of mind knowing that their life insurance policy can cover it if one partner passes away.
Terminal Illness Coverage (Viatical Settlements)
If an individual is diagnosed with a terminal illness, they may access their life insurance policy’s death benefit early through a viatical settlement. This allows them to use the funds for medical expenses, palliative care, or to enjoy experiences during their remaining time. For instance, someone diagnosed with a serious illness may want to travel or spend time with family, and cashing in their policy can provide the necessary funds.
Cash Value Accumulation
Permanent life insurance policies often include a cash value component that grows over time. Individuals can borrow against this cash value or withdraw funds for emergencies or significant expenses, such as paying for a child's college tuition or funding a business venture. This feature makes the policy not just a safety net for beneficiaries but also a potential source of funds for the policyholder.
Final Expenses Coverage:
Life insurance can be specifically designed to cover final expenses, such as funeral costs and burial expenses. This prevents the financial strain on family members who would otherwise have to cover these costs out of pocket. For example, a senior might purchase a small whole life policy to ensure that they have enough to cover their funeral expenses, alleviating the financial burden on their children when the time comes.
