You could be a DIY type of dude/gal (I am too) and you could take the time to find, compare and purchase a life insurance policy for yourself or for someone else. But, its always better to talk to financial advisor to help you analyze different providers and their policies and perks (yes, there are perks) before you make a decision.

Firstly, people who provide life insurance services are known by many names. They are called financial advisors, life advisors, life insurance agents and etc.
Following are our top reasons why should consider working, or at least speaking with a financial advisor about life insurance:
A financial advisor can help you determine how much life insurance you actually need, taking into account your current financial situation and future goals. Without their guidance, you might end up buying too much or too little coverage.
They can also help you navigate the different types of life insurance policies and explain the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision.
A financial advisor will also be able to give you a realistic idea of how much different policies will cost, and help you find a policy that fits your budget. Talk with an Insurance Advisor
They can help you understand the tax implications of different life insurance policies, so you can make sure you're not leaving money on the table.
An advisor can also help you to customize a policy that fits your specific needs, such as adding riders or increasing coverage as your life circumstances change.
A financial advisor can help you review your policy periodically to ensure that it still meets your needs. They can help you understand how the policy is performing, and make changes as needed. Talk with an Insurance Advisor
They can also help you with estate planning, so that your life insurance policy works in concert with other assets to provide the best possible outcome for your beneficiaries.
Many financial advisors can help you with other aspects of your finances, such as investments and retirement planning, so you can have a holistic approach to your financial planning.
If you ever have a claim on your life insurance policy, your financial advisor will be there to guide you through the process and make sure you receive the benefits you're entitled to.
Hiring a financial advisor to help you with your life insurance purchase can give you peace of mind that you're making the best decision for you and your loved ones. Plus, it's a lot more fun than trying to sort through all the information on your own!
Remember that you should never have to pay a financial advisor for the above services. They get paid by the insurance companies they work with.
