What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life Insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specified period, or "term," of time. Typically, this term can range from 10 to 30 years, depending on the policy terms and the preferences of the policyholder. If the insured individual passes away during the term of the policy, the insurance company pays out a death benefit to the beneficiaries named by the policyholder.
How Term Life Insurance Benefits You
Also known as "Pure Life Insurance", term life insurance tends to be easier to understand than other types of life insurance, such as whole life or universal life insurance, because it provides coverage for a specific period, for a specific price. There are no price increases and the death benefit is paid out to your beneficiaries...usually tax-free.
Some term life insurance policies offer the option to renew the coverage at the end of the term, often at a higher premium. Additionally, many policies include a conversion option, allowing policyholders to convert their term policy into a permanent life insurance policy without undergoing a medical exam. Make sure you understand how and when you can renew or convert your term life policy.
Purchasing term life insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be financially protected in the event of your death. It helps you feel confident that your loved ones will be able to maintain their standard of living, even if you are no longer there to provide for them.
Because term life insurance is specifically designed to provide financial protection for a set period (term) of time, it is typically less expensive than other types of life insurance. Term life insurance is a desirable choice for individuals who want coverage for a specific period, such as until their mortgage is paid off, their children are financially independent, or during their working years when their income is crucial to their family's well-being
Determine the amount of coverage (death benefit) you need based on your financial obligations, such as a mortgage, debts, education expenses, and income replacement for your dependents. A good rule of thumb is to aim for coverage that is 8 to 10 times your annual income. We can help with the proper amount of coverage based on your unique needs.
Choose a term length that aligns with your financial goals and obligations. Consider factors such as the age of your dependents, the duration of your mortgage or other debts, and the number of years until your retirement. Term life insurance is a desirable choice for individuals who want coverage for a specific period, such as until their mortgage is paid off, their children are financially independent, or during their working years when their income is crucial to their family's well-being.

This is the amount of money that the insurance company will pay out to ease your loved ones if you pass or become disabled during the term.
These are the regular payments that the policyholder makes to the insurer in order to keep the policy in force.
Most term life insurance policies have a set length of time, such as 10, 20, or 30 years, during which the policy is in force.
These are optional additions to a policy that provide additional coverage for specific events or circumstances. For example, a policy may include a rider that provides additional benefits if the policyholder becomes disabled and is unable to work.
Most term life insurance policies can be cancelled at any time by the policyholder, by simply stop paying premiums. The policy will lapse, and you will lose coverage.
