With this entry we will see, in the case of a single person (without children, of course), what insurance needs he or she might have.<\/p>\n<h2>Life insurance for a single person?<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance<strong> of life <\/strong>can protect us against <strong>death and disability<\/strong>, of any type of <strong>accident or illness<\/strong> we suffer, as insureds of that policy.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, thinking of a single person, <strong>no family \u201cburdens <\/strong>(children, marriage...), should I have life insurance?<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>various visions<\/strong> of the matter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The classic conception that, for that simple reason, nothing needs to be insured.<\/li>\n<li>The more conscientious version: precisely because there is no one around to take care of us if something serious happens to us, it would be a good idea to have this insurance.

However, there is also the person with siblings, with a special affection for their nieces, nephews or friends' children, who apply for a life insurance to leave them money for their education or a better future in case they are no longer around.
