What
is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a way of ensuring that there is enough money to
protect the people interests that depend on you, if you die or you
are diagnosed as having a terminal illness.
Life insurance can
be used for a range of purposes such as ensuring that in the event of
your death your dependants have enough to live on, your mortgage or loan
is paid off, or a business is protected.
