Life insurance provides an infusion of cash for dealing with the adverse financial consequences of the insured's death. Life insurance enjoys favorable tax treatment unlike any other financial instrument. Death benefits are generally income-tax-free to the beneficiary.

The purpose of life insurance is to provide financial protection to surviving dependents after the death of an insured.
