It&#8217;s important to name a beneficiary to ensure that the money goes to the right person(s) you want to benefit. If you don&#8217;t name a beneficiary, the payout will follow the terms of the insurance contract. Usually, it goes to your spouse, children, parents, siblings, or your estate.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__answer\">\n                                                <h3 class=\"c-faqs-answers__question\" id=\"question4\">When Should I Get Life Insurance Coverage? <\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"s-cms-content\">\n                                                        <p>The best time to get life insurance is when it feels right for you. Waiting to purchase a policy can increase costs as you get older and may complicate qualifying if you have health issues. However, many people choose to get coverage when they reach important milestones like getting married, starting a family, or starting a business. Ultimately, it&#8217;s up to you to decide when the time is right to protect your loved ones with life insurance.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__answer\">\n                                                <h3 class=\"c-faqs-answers__question\" id=\"question5\">How Many Years Should I Choose for My Life Policy? <\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"s-cms-content\">\n                                                        <p>The duration of your life insurance coverage depends on your unique circumstances. If you have dependents, such as a spouse or young children, you may want coverage for a longer period, like 20-30 years, to provide financial security for them. However, if you don&#8217;t have dependents or are financially independent, a shorter coverage period may be enough. It&#8217;s a good idea to discuss your needs with your loved ones and an insurance agent to find the right duration for your life insurance policy.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__answer\">\n                                                <h3 class=\"c-faqs-answers__question\" id=\"question6\">Are My Life Insurance Benefits Taxable? <\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"s-cms-content\">\n                                                        <p>In general, life insurance benefits and proceeds are not subject to taxation when they are paid directly to specifically named beneficiaries.
