Life insurance

Life insurance is a form of coverage that will protect your loved ones from financial instability in the event of an unexpected death. When the insured person dies, the company commits to paying a sum of money to your beneficiaries. Life insurance products vary greatly and adapt to your needs at the time. The amount and type of life insurance will affect the cost of your insurance, as will your personal characteristics: age, gender, health and lifestyle.
