Term Period - Term Life Insurance
The Term Period is the number of years you will have
life insurance protection in force. Term life insurance allows
individuals to purchase policies in blocks of time (i.e. *5,10,15,20,*25 &30
years). Each individual must take into consideration the reasons
for which they are purchasing the term life coverage to determine
the appropriate term period before you get a term life insurance
quote
Example 1:
A married couple with ten years left on their home mortgage
and two children, ages 6-8, would likely choose a 15 year plan.
This plan would cover them until the mortgage is paid-off and the
youngest of their children are no longer dependents.
Example 2:
A business owner who has a ten year loan would more than likely
choose a 10 year plan. The coverage would be in force during the
period of time they would be carrying the debt. it is important
to remember term life insurance is a Death Benefit only
product. it does not accumulate a cash surrender amount.
