Types of Life Insurance

 

There are different types of life insurance that adapt to the reality of people. We can classify the types of insurance in different ways: by the duration of the contract, by the type of risk they cover, by the number of lives they protect, by the objective of the insurance, among others. Below we will tell you about the main types of life insurance.

– Individual life

It is the life insurance that we normally know, in which only one person is insured. It is possible to choose the coverage and designate your beneficiaries freely.

In the event of death, the benefits you assigned will receive financial compensation. You can also have additional protections such as serious illnesses, accidental death, dismemberment or disability, among others.

– Life debtors

This insurance is one of the most popular, especially when applying for financing credits. In Colombia, to acquire a loan with a financial institution, it is necessary to take out insurance.

This measure works because in the event of death or permanent total disability, the insurance company is responsible for covering the debt you have pending with the financial institution. Thus, your assets will not be affected and you will prevent your family from inheriting your debts. You can learn more about compulsory insurance for credits here.

 – Emerging expenses

Emergency expenses insurance helps cover funeral expenses in the event of death. For example, expenses such as transportation, funeral coffin, wake room, among others.

 – Life and savings

This insurance is also a form of long-term savings. In addition to having traditional life insurance that protects you, you can also set up your savings fund for a certain amount and time. If you die, the money will belong to your beneficiaries.

 – Personal accidents

In the event of disability or death due to an accident, you or your beneficiaries, as the case may be, will be able to access a daily income during recovery and reimbursement for medical expenses.

 – Serious diseases

With this type of insurance you receive financial support in case you are diagnosed with a serious illness. This way you can maintain your quality of life while you recover.
