What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specific period, or “term,” typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during this term, the beneficiaries receive a death benefit.
Fixed Term: Coverage lasts for a predetermined period, such as 10, 15, 20, or 30 years.
Death Benefit: Provides a tax-free lump sum to beneficiaries if the insured dies during the term.
No Cash Value: Unlike permanent life insurance, term life insurance does not accumulate cash value.
Affordability: Generally, term life insurance is more affordable than permanent life insurance because it only provides coverage for a limited time and does not build cash value.
Simplicity: Easy to understand and straightforward, making it a good option for those new to life insurance.
Flexibility: Policies can be tailored to fit your needs, with various term lengths and coverage amounts available.
