Life Insurance

Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policyholder and an insurance company, where the insurer promises to pay a sum of money in exchange for a premium after a set period or upon the death of an insured person. Life insurance offers you and your family financial protection. Some policies also offer optional add-ons, such as critical illness benefit, accidental death benefit, and more. The importance of life insurance cannot be ignored in ensuring the financial safety of your loved ones.
The death benefit that accrues to the beneficiaries upon the death of the insured person replaces the income that was earned regularly by the policyholder. This amount can be used by the dependents to pay off debts, meet living expenses and fund education and other long-term goals.
Buying life insurance does not just help provide financial support in the event of the insured person's untimely death, but it can also be a sound long term investment by helping you meet your life goals such as children's education, your retirement corpus or buying a second home.

Life Insurance Coverage

  • Monthly bills and expenses: One of the main uses for life insurance is to replace your income for those who depend on it. This is why it can be helpful to work with an agent or use a life insurance calculator to determine how much coverage you need. That way, you know your loved ones are going to be taken care of when you pass away. Upon receiving the death benefit, the beneficiary can use the money to pay for bills — including grocery, utility and childcare expenses — as well as other costs that may pop up. There aren’t restrictions on what kinds of expenses you can use a death benefit payment for.
  • Co-signed debts : Debt repayment costs can be tough on anyone’s budget, but paying down debts on which you co-signed after losing a loved one’s financial support can be even tougher. Mortgage payments, car loan costs and other debts can cause financial stress. Receiving a death benefit can help your loved ones pay those costs without worry.
  • College tuition and education : If you’re financially responsible for your child’s college tuition or education, you may want to factor those costs in when you purchase a life insurance policy. That way, should you pass away, you can still help your child pay for college. Adding the cost for college into your life insurance calculations could dramatically increase the death benefit amount that you need.
  • End-of-life expenses : Another primary function of life insurance is to pay for your end-of-life expenses. These could include your funeral costs, the price of a casket and the expense of a reception. Any life insurance policy’s death benefit can be used to pay for funeral costs. If that’s the only coverage you need, though, you may want to consider final expense insurance. This type of permanent life insurance provides a small death benefit and generally doesn’t require a medical exam for approval. However, compared to other policy types, final expense coverage may be more expensive for the amount of coverage you’re likely to get.
  • Child care or dependent care : From daycare and after-school programs to nannies and other expenses, life insurance policies can help cover the cost of childcare. If your beneficiary is also taking care of an aging parent or other dependent, a life insurance death benefit could help with those costs, too, if you pass away.
  • Medical expenses and long-term care : While life insurance is primarily used to provide financial support for your loved ones, you can sometimes use your policy to your benefit. Life insurance with living benefits provides options for you to use your life insurance coverage while you are still alive. There are different types of living benefits you can choose from, based on your needs. For example, many companies offer an accelerated death benefit rider, which provides you with access to a portion of your death benefit prior to your passing if you’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness. This may help you pay for medical expenses while you’re still alive, reducing the financial burden on your loved ones after your passing.
  • Estate planning : In addition to funeral costs, life insurance can cover the cost of estate planning following your death. Estate planning is a little different from end-of-life expenses in that it involves securing an attorney to close out any remaining accounts in your name and officially report your death to the county and IRS. Many people fail to realize that descendants may still owe taxes to the IRS, and a life insurance policy can help them cover these costs so they are not incurring unnecessary financial burden.
  • Leaving a legacy : It’s easy to see life insurance as a practical purchase. After all, it’s helping your loved ones feel financially secure after your passing. But life insurance can go a step further. You could use your life insurance policy to leave a financial gift to your beneficiary, your children, an organization or a charity. If you choose to do this, just be sure you buy an appropriate amount of coverage. You’ll likely still want your loved ones to have enough of a payout to cover daily expenses, debts and the other costs mentioned here.

What is not covered in Life Insurance :-

  • Death due to natural causes or health-related issues: These kind of deaths are well within the purview of Term insurance plans. Even if a person dies due to existing medical condition or critical illness, the beneficiary of the insurer is entitled to the sum assured as the death benefit.
  • Death due to natural calamity : Death caused due to any natural disaster or act of god like Tsunami, Earthquake, floods, is not covered by Term Insurance, unless, you have opted for any particular riders for that purpose.
  • Homicide : We have often heard of cases where the policyholder is murdered by the nominee for money. In case any investigation reveals the involvement of the nominee in the death of the insured, then the nominee is not entitled to death benefits until the judiciary acquits the nominee.
  • Death due to intoxication : Death due to alcohol or drug overdose is also not entitled to payouts under Term Insurance plan.
  • Death due to existing illness : If you have an existing illness when purchasing a Term insurance plan, then it is mandatory to disclose it. If the disease is the cause for the death of the policyholder, the nominee is entitled to the payout only if the information has already been disclosed at the time of purchase. If there is a life-threatening disease that you are suffering from, the premiums might be higher, but then the claims settlement is smoother in case of a payout. This is why financial institutions require you to undergo medical tests for term insurance plans.
  • Death due to critical Illness : Death due to any critical illness is covered under Term plans. It also includes sexually transmitted disease like HIV/AIDS.
  • Death due to self-inflicted injuries : Term insurance plans do not cover death due to self-inflicted wounds.
  • Suicide : In case of death by suicide in the initial 12 months, the beneficiary receives 80% of the amount accumulated from the premiums in case of a non-linked plan, and 100% in case of a linked plan. Death benefits for suicide are typically on the discretion of the insurance companies. Usually the nominee is not entitled to any compensation if the insurer commits suicide after 12 months.
  • Death due to accidents. : Accidents can happen all the time. In case of an accidental demise, your nominee is entitled to a payout under term plans. Besides Term plans also have the option of attaching a rider that gives you additional payout over the sum assured in the original plan. However, there are certain exceptions to this. Accidental death due to intoxication or drugs or if the insured is involved in criminal activity is not entitled to any payouts. Also, accidental deaths when during adventure sports like skydiving, paragliding, bungee jumping, among others too are not covered by term plans.
