Insurance Life Policies

Insurance life policies (or life insurance policies) are an agreement in which you can pass on your wealth when you die. Loss causes hardship and inconvenience. If through some medium this loss can be covered, than the degree of hardship is reduced. Insurance is this medium. Just like any asset, a human life is also an income generator. A human life not only provides but also contributes to the welfare and well being of a family and in general. Any loss by way of accident or sickness resulting in death can cause loss of income for a family. Life insurance policies help mitigate this loss.

Life insurance policies help the insured during a lifetime and after. At retirement it provides a pension and provisions for those dependent on the income. During a lifetime it can provide emergency funds for illness, medical expenses and education.

The basic mechanism of life insurance policies is to pay a fixed amount (premium) on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis to a company. The amount of the premium depends on the sum -- the amount of money the policyholder receives on the maturity of the policy. In all life insurance policies, there are also accrued bonuses.

Insurance companies have many different policies that are used towards various ends. The four basic policies are term life, permanent life, whole life and universal life. All cover human life in case of an accident or loss. Life insurance should grow with you. If you are married, having children, retiring, etc. it is time to reevaluate your life insurance needs.
