Features of Term Life

Simple Structure, Strong Value


  • Coverage amount and term length
    Pick the amount that replaces income and pays key debts, then match the term to your timeline. If the insured passes during the term, the tax-free benefit pays the beneficiary.
  • No cash value
    Term is pure insurance, which is why premiums are lower than permanent policies.
  • Convertibility
    Many policies allow you to convert to
    whole life insurance before the term ends without a new medical exam. This is helpful if health changes or you want lifelong coverage later.
  • Level or decreasing options
    Level term keeps the benefit steady. Decreasing term can track a shrinking loan balance for targeted protection.

Why Choose Term

Big Protection When Budgets Are Tight

Young families often need a larger benefit for a set number of years. Term gives you more coverage per dollar so bills are still paid and plans stay on track. It can complement employer life benefits that may be small or not portable. If your main goal is keeping the home, mortgage protection insurance is simply a term plan sized to your loan.
