staying prepared is key. Whether it’s life’s curveballs or unexpected hurdles, having life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides a financial safety net for whatever comes your way.

Life insurance serves as an agreement between you and your insurance provider. Simply put, in exchange for premium payments, once you’re gone, the insurer dishes out a lump sum payment, aka the death benefit, to your beneficiaries.
Your beneficiaries can use the money for whatever purpose they choose. It might mean keeping the lights on, wiping out the mortgage, or putting a child through college. Having a safety net with life insurance, you can ensure your loved ones will not be struck with a financial burden.
Age
When you sign up for life insurance, your age matters. It determines both the duration of coverage you require and the premiums you'll pay.
Relationship Status
Got a spouse or domestic partner? You're likely sharing the financial load. If something happens to you, they'll be left with a heavier burden, meaning you'll need more coverage.
Children
