A life insurance policy is a means of protecting those who rely on you for financial support even after your death. And while our own passing isn’t something most of us want to think about, there is the potential for an unfortunate accident at any time. While those who are young, single, and child-free should still consider a policy, having coverage is especially crucial if you fall under any of the following categories.

Reasons to Buy Life Insurance

1. You Have Young Children

Life insurance can be a financial security measure for parents with young children. If both parents have insurance and one should die, the money could be used by the other for any funeral costs and outstanding debts, as well as other expenses down the line, such as the mortgage or college tuition for the children. If you support a child with special needs, this can be especially needed income.

2. You Have a Business Partnership

Business partners should talk about taking life insurance policies out on each other. If one should pass unexpectedly, the remaining partner will have enough money to buy the decedent's business interest from his heirs as well as pay his share of the company's obligations without damaging the business's finances.

3. You Have Accumulated Debt

If someone dies with outstanding debt that can't be paid through their estate, their assets may be seized rather than given to their heirs. Alternatively, if a person’s parents co-signed student loan papers on their behalf, with the understanding that the student would be responsible for paying them back, they may still be liable for this debt after their child’s passing. Insurance allows individuals to have peace of mind over these concerns—since they know their loved ones will not have to deal with financial hardship at the same time they are emotionally struggling.
