Term Life Insurance

This affordable option offers insurance over a limited amount of time and can be converted into a more permanent solution later on. The policyholder chooses the length of coverage, such as 10, 15, 20, or even 30 years. During this time, called the level-premium period, the premium is guaranteed not to change.

Term life insurance pays on the condition that death occurs during the term of the insurance policy. Most of these policies entail no other benefit provision, like accumulated cash values. Many people opt for term life insurance when they’re just starting out, and switch to a whole life policy when the term expires and the renewal or conversion rates are higher.

Upon your death, term life insurance can support your family with paying mortgages, debts education cost and other expenses. The death benefit is assured over the life of the policy as long as the premium payments are maintained for the specific period of time, after which they typically increase, quite significantly.

Term life insurance has two subtypes:

• Level Term Insurance
  Where Meaning the death benefit remains the same throughout the life of the policy
• Decreasing Term Insurance
  Where Meaning the death benefit decreases throughout the duration of the policy

Term life insurance is an ideal choice for those who want:

• Temporary and cost-effective insurance for a fixed period of time
• Supplemental insurance over and above employer-supplied coverage/other plans
• Death benefits and financial protection for a predetermined term
• A safety net against mortgages and other long-term or short-term financial debt
• Flexible coverage in the short term, which can be extended or converted later
