Uses of Life Insurance:

Life Insurance is used to provide funding, after the death of the insured, for obligations that will need to be settled.

For a family, life insurance can provide funding to pay off debt (mortgage, auto) as well as provision of funding for children’s education – think college.  Life insurance can also provide funds for the family to continue living a similar lifestyle after the death of the insured, offering a pool of money to help with living expenses and changes in costs upon the passing of the insured.

In a business, life insurance has many uses.  One of the more popular uses is to fund a buy-sell agreement.  Life insurance provides the funds for a business to redeem the share of the business from the decedent’s estate without creating an undue financial strain on the business to fund the buyout with a loan or internal cash.
