What does the buyer's guide provide to potential life insurance buyers?

The buyer's guide primarily serves as a resource designed to equip potential life insurance buyers with basic information on choosing the right insurance product to fit their needs. It typically includes explanations of various types of life insurance policies, factors to consider when evaluating coverage options, and tips on what questions to ask insurers. This foundational knowledge enables buyers to make informed decisions without delving into specific financial advice or legal obligations associated with the purchase of insurance.

While detailed personal financial advice is highly valuable, it is generally outside the scope of what a buyer's guide provides; such advice requires a tailored approach often from licensed financial advisors. Similarly, the guide does not focus on legal requirements for an insurance purchase or provide a comparison of local agents, which could lead to confusion about the roles of different resources in the buying process. Instead, the buyer's guide focuses on demystifying insurance concepts and preparing buyers for discussions with agents or carriers.
