While you are alive, you will contribute value to your family (and to society at large). However, when you die, that value will go away, and your loved ones could face financial insecurity that would not have occurred had you remained alive.
Life insurance can make sure they receive the support they deserve anyway. If you insure yourself with life insurance, you will designate an amount of money, known as a death benefit, to be provided to a designated beneficiary upon your death. With access to life insurance funds, your family will be able to pick up the pieces of your loss and move on with their lives without facing monetary troubles. There’s no better legacy that you could possibly leave them.
