Q1. What is meant by a life insurance?

Answer. There is an agreement between you and the company you get insured with. According to this agreement, till you are alive, you will be paying a certain fixed amount to the company, which will be known as "premium". After you die, the company will give the money to the beneficiaries you name. In case you are sure that your end is not so far, then you can also get the benefits of accelerated death, if you apply for such a policy.

Q2. Whether or not I need a life insurance?

Answer. Life insurances are meant to eradicate the fear of risk amongst you and your family. The only factor which you should see before purchasing life insurance is that whether or not you can purchase a life insurance. If you have a spouse who is not engaged in any kind of work or children or elderly who are entirely dependent upon you, then leaving some money after you will be a wise option. In fact there are people without any heir and they still take life insurances. These are mostly the people who have an estate at their name or are business men. They require safety at every path of the life. And that is why they prefer to concern professionals.

Q3. How should I purchase a life insurance?

Answer. You can purchase a life insurance easily if you have an agent or a broker who is trustworthy enough to help you out. Otherwise, you can search the market for a broker with a good knowledge of the same.

Before choosing the company to sign with, you should make sure that the deal which you are going to make is a healthy one and you are comfortable working with it.

Q4. How to find a good insurance agent?

Answer. Before selecting any agent, talk to the people around you who have taken life insurances and find out a good agent. If this doesn’t work out, talking to the companies is the last option.
