What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a contract in which a policyholder pays regular premiums in exchange for a lump-sum death benefit may be paid to the policyholder's beneficiaries. The lump-sum benefit is paid when the policyholder either passes away or a specific amount of time has passed. Life insurance policies can help provide financial security by replacing lost income and covering expenses.
