WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TERM PROTECTION INSURANCE

  • Term life insurance is an affordable way to protect your loved ones by providing death benefits if you die while the policy is in force.
  • You pay a fixed policy premium to the insurance company for a pre-determined period of years (typically 10-30 years).
  • If you die during the policy term, the insurance company pays the policy benefits to your named beneficiaries.

  • Policy benefits can be used for final expenses, paying off a mortgage or other debts, funding children’s educations, or for any other reason.
  • Policies may be renewable at the end of the initial term for a new, higher premium, without having to provide evidence of insurability.

When you know you want to provide life insurance benefits to your loved ones in the event you die prematurely, it’s easy to find yourself confused by all of the different types of policies, and policy options, available. Term life insurance can be an affordable way to provide some financial protection for a specific period of time.

WHAT IS TERM LIFE INSURANCE?

Term life insurance coverage is just what it sounds like: life insurance for a specified policy term. The coverage is in effect for a term of years that you choose up front, usually ranging from 10-30 years. If you die while the policy is in force, the insurance company pays death benefits to your named beneficiaries.

WHY DO I NEED TERM LIFE INSURANCE?

The number one reason for purchasing term life insurance is to provide peace of mind to your loved ones. If you were to die prematurely, would your loved ones be able to maintain their standard of living? Term life insurance can provide a cash death benefit that could be used to pay your final expenses including the expense of a funeral service, pay off a remaining mortgage balance, fund children’s education expenses, or just to help pay ongoing expenses after your death.

HOW DOES TERM LIFE INSURANCE WORK?

Like other types of life insurance, term life insurance starts with an application for coverage with an insurance company. Once a policy is in force with the company, you pay monthly, quarterly or annual policy premiums to maintain coverage. If you die during the specified policy term, the insurance company pays the specified death benefit amount to your named beneficiaries.
