What is life insurance?

Life insurance provides financial protection for the people you care about when you die. But many life insurance policies can do much more. Some policies also accumulate [cash value] (also known as policy value) you can use for expenses or income in retirement. Some are designed to help transfer wealth (via the "death benefit" proceeds) to your beneficiaries, generally free of federal income tax, after you die.
