Basically life insurance is very simple. It’s a contract between you (officially called the policy owner) and an insurance company (officially called the insurer) who agrees to pay your heirs (officially called your beneficiaries) a lump sum when you die or at the end of a specified period (or term).You pay for your life insurance by paying premiums. But of course life insurance is about rather more than who gets what when you die.

What are you really buying when you buy life insurance?

Life insurance is all about buying ‘peace of mind’. If you have a family or dependants whose financial wellbeing is important to you, if you have personal liabilities such as a mortgage or a business debt you want to make sure are covered or if you want to pay for a good burial, then life insurance could be the answer. With the right life insurance policy you make sure no matter when you die, that all your financial obligations are met. But in order for you to have your needs met you have to decide which life insurance policy to buy.

You need to decide what your financial needs are. People can use life insurance to build up capital as well as their heirs getting a death benefit when they die. The capital that builds up can be borrowed against, be partially or wholly drawn down or it can accumulate and all go to their heirs. Policies with an investment component, that is, part of the premiums are invested by your insurance company, can be called whole life, variable life policies or universal life policies.

Another very common type of life insurance is called term life insurance. This is usually taken out for 5, 10 or 30 years. The policy holder pays cheaper premiums than the holder of a whole life policy and usually the reason for having a term life policy is to provide coverage for the breadwinner while children are young or there is a high mortgage etc.

If you are a newcomer to the world of life insurance it can be hard working out what you want. Life insurance companies are very effective salespeople for their policies as they should be. So before you go get a quote, ask yourself what you want. Do you want ‘peace of mind’ in relation to your obligations to others or do you want to build capital for use at a particular time in your life or do you want both? Naturally your life circumstances, such as how much money you have available to put aside for life insurance premiums, your state of health and your age, will be a part of your decision making. But basically you have to decide which life insurance policy best meets your needs.
