When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums". The insurance company, using the law of large numbers, collects more money in premiums than it pays out in claims. The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it. As we all know that Life insurance policy cash values are accessed through withdrawals and policy loans. However, withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy.

So, it's a kind of gamble. Your dependents might come out ahead, or they might not.
The person, company or trust that is specified under "Beneficiaries" section in the insurance policy will receive the life insurance benefits. If the beneficiaries are more than one, the benefit is split according to policy details, or policy schedule pages.
