specific person when the policyholder dies. This person is known as the beneficiary. Whole life insurance can build up savings
for the policyholder over time and the policyholder may borrow from the “cash value” of the policy
Term insurance provides insurance over a specified period of time.
Universal life insurance is a combination of term and whole life, giving the policy more flexibility.
