UNDERSTANDING TERM LIFE INSURANCE
Term life insurance is a form of pure life insurance that pays the beneficiary a specific amount of money if the insured dies while covered. Term life insurance offers coverage for only a limited period of time. During this period, anywhere from 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years, your payments are guaranteed to stay the same. This form of life insurance is often the most cost-effective policy because it offers coverage for a specific number of years.

Q: WHAT IS TERM LIFE INSURANCE?
Term insurance is a type of life insurance that provides an amount of money, a death benefit, to your beneficiaries in the event that you pass away in the designated time period of your policy.
Terms can range from one, five, 10, 20, 25, 30, or 50 years and cover anywhere from $25,000 to $1,000,000. If you do not pass in this time period, your policy can expire, but you have the option to convert or renew your policy for a more permanent option.
There are two types of term life insurance, level term and decreasing term. With level term life insurance, your death benefit will remain the same throughout your entire policy. With decreasing term your death benefits will drop throughout the duration of your policy in one year increments.
