Mortality financial protection

Life insurance is a contract where an insurer pays a sum to designated beneficiaries upon the policyholder's death, in exchange for regular premium payments during their lifetime.

Term life covers a set period; whole life covers the entire lifespan and builds cash value.

His life insurance policy paid off the mortgage when he died.
