You can usually choose a term life insurance policy or a permanent or whole policy.
With term insurance, your mom will be covered for the term of the policy. For example, if you choose a 10 year term policy, and your mother passes away during these ten years, you'll get a payout. If she dies after the term expires, you will not get anything.
With permanent insurance, on the other hand, the coverage lasts throughout the remainder of your mother's life. Permanent life insurance premiums are much higher and it's not as affordable as term insurance.
