What Is Life Insurance?

Simply put, it's an agreement between the insurer and yourself that if something happens to you, a one-off large sum of money is paid to your beneficiaries (your partner, kids or dependants) in the event you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. It's a way to protect those who depend on you financially covering things like the mortgage, your children's education costs, and everyday living expenses.
