When shopping for life insurance, many people choose permanent life insurance policies even though they are more expensive than term policies. Term life policies pay a specified amount if the insured individual’s death occurs within a certain time period, and their premiums may be relatively low. However, they do not accumulate cash value. In permanent life policies, which may be whole life, universal life, or variable life, premiums generally are much higher than they are with term life. Some of the excess you pay goes into an account to build cash value. The cash value can grow, tax-free. As you get older, and the cost of term life insurance increases, money from the cash value can keep...

Is Term Life Insurance for You? Term insurance is the simplest form of life insurance. It provides temporary life insurance protection on a limited budget. Here’s how it works: When a policyholder buys term insurance, he or she buys coverage for a specific period and pays a specific price for that coverage. If the policyholder dies during that time, his or her beneficiaries receive the benefit from the policy. If he or she outlives the term of the policy, it is no longer in effect. The person would have to reapply to receive any future benefit. Unlike permanent insurance, term insurance only pays a death benefit. It does not accumulate a cash value. That’s one of the reasons...

After you’ve decided that you need life insurance, your next big decision is probably going to be whether to invest in whole or term life insurance. There are distinct benefits to both whole life insurance and term life insurance plans. Before you purchase a life insurance plan, you should consider your current and potential future dependents, income, and savings. Term life insurance is less expensive than whole life insurance, as it only covers the insured for a set period of time (i.e. the term). Generally, protection is provided in 10 or 20-year terms, with some plans remaining in affect until age 100. Once the selected term has ended, the policyholder must forgo coverage or...

Term Life Insurance is temporary life insurance, designed to provide coverage for a set period of time. The most common durations (terms) are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years. Like auto insurance or homeowners insurance it provides protection for you and your family in the event of an accident or unplanned death. Over the course of the term, you have fixed premiums that remain unchanged for the duration of the term. At the end of the term, your insurance company or carrier can renew, change, or cancel your policy. Most life insurance companies will continue to renew at the end of the term, but the premiums typically skyrocket. As a result, most people end up dropping the coverage at that...
