When you buy life insurance, you must select a beneficiary for the policy. The beneficiary is the person whom the insurance company pays when you die. It is common to choose your spouse as the primary beneficiary and your children as the contingent beneficiaries (so if your spouse dies before you do, your children split the proceeds).
