What is life insurance?

The term “life insurance” refers to a sort of insurance coverage that pays a lump sum of money, also known as a “death benefit,” to the documented beneficiary in the event that the policyholder dies. Frequently, individuals will list their surviving spouse or other family members as a beneficiary. If you do not have a surviving family member or you would prefer not to list them as a beneficiary, you can also promote goodwill in your community by listing a favorite charity or other organization as the recipient of your death benefit.

How does the beneficiary receive death benefits?

Once you have passed, your beneficiary will be able to contact our office and provide a death certificate to indicate that they are entitled to this benefit. After going through the appropriate claims process, we will be able to pay the death benefit to your beneficiary in the way that it is structured. Some benefits offer a single, one-time payment while others pay the benefit in monthly income indefinitely. Although specifics may vary, life insurance policies and death benefits generally function in the same manner.
