Life insurance is a type of insurance, or in other words, a contract between an insurance policyholder and an insurer. The insured company undertakes to pay a certain amount of money or benefits in return for the premium to the designated buyer/beneficiary upon the death of the insured person.
Although the terms of the agreement vary depending on the contract, other similar events such as terminal illness or intensive care may also trigger this payment. The policyholder, that is, the individual who takes out the insurance, pays a premium regularly or collectively. Other expenses such as funeral expenses can be included in the benefits provided under the insurance.
