What is Term Life Insurance? Everything You Need to Know

Types of Term Life Insurance

1. Level Term: This is the most common type. Premiums remain the same throughout the policy term.
2. Annual Renewable Term: This offers coverage for one year at a time, with the option to renew annually without a medical exam. Premiums increase each year.
3. Return of Premium Term: This type returns all paid premiums if the policyholder outlives the term.
4. Decreasing Term: The death benefit decreases over the term, often used to cover a mortgage or other loan.

Benefits of Term Life Insurance

• Financial Protection for Loved Ones: The death benefit can replace lost income, pay off debts, or fund future expenses like education.
• Affordability: Term life is generally less expensive than permanent life insurance, making it a good option for those on a budget or those with temporary needs.
• Flexibility: It's easy to understand and can be customized to your needs and budget.

Who Should Consider Term Life Insurance?

• Individuals with Dependents: Term life is essential for anyone whose death would financially impact others, like spouses, children, or aging parents.
• Young Families: Term life can provide affordable protection during the years when children are most vulnerable.
• Mortgage Holders or Debtors: Term life can ensure debts are paid off in the event of the policyholder's death.
