Endowment Life Policy

A type of life insurance that pays a benefit at the end of the policy term if the insured is still alive. It combines death benefit coverage and savings component.

Term Life Insurance

A type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specific period of time. It is typically more affordable than permanent life insurance, but doesn't build cash value.

Application for Life Insurance

The application process for a life insurance policy is used to gather information about the applicant's health, habits, and financial situation. This information helps the insurer assess the risk and determine the premiums.

Irrevocable Beneficiary

An irrevocable beneficiary is designated in the life insurance policy, and their rights cannot be changed without their consent. This can help safeguard the beneficiary's inheritance.
