Sometimes insurance policies can seem out of reach if you are struggling with funds. Take a look at Term Life Insurance for an insurance policy that suits your budget and lifestyle.

What is Term Life Insurance?

Known to be easy to understand and affordable, Term insurance is a plan that keeps your insurance costs the same for a set amount of time (known as the term.) You can renew it at the end of one term to start a new term. If you pass away while your policy is still in effect, the payment will go, tax-free, to your beneficiaries. You can convert this coverage to permanent insurance if you want to, without worrying about health, lifestyle, or occupation changes.

Why Get Term Life Insurance?

Term insurance is great for those who need temporary protection, such as a business loan, or mortgage coverage, or even education issues. This type of insurance plan is quite affordable for the value offered. If you are a business owner, Term insurance can help with key person protection or buy and sell agreements.

Term Life Insurance allows your beneficiaries to use the funds to pay off or settle any outstanding debts, and get rid of guarantees. It can help pay off tuition or help with your spouse’s retirement plan. Most of all, it helps make up for the lost income.

Benefits of Term Life Insurance

  • Affordable: This is an affordable, less expensive policy than most other types of insurance as it only gives coverage for a set term. It is a great policy for young families with a mortgage, car loans, or college fees, and for anyone who has financial burdens. A Term Life Insurance policy will allow you to have insurance without causing you financial strain.
  • Fixed Terms: Having a fixed term makes it easier to budget and save money. Premiums won’t change and are fixed for the set term. Term insurance has coverage for a predetermined (fixed) time (term.)
  • Flexible Options: Endless options are available with Term Life Insurance. You get to choose the length of term, which can be from 10 year to Age 65. Using a term policy, you can lock in rates for a short period of time if you need help with something like tuition fees of your child in case of your death
  • Easy to understand: Term Life Insurance is known to be simple enough for everyone to understand. It’s an easy and affordable way to provide your family with financial security if something happens to you. Comparing rates is easy. All you have to decide on is the length of term, coverage amount, and the company. You are covered for the term by paying the premium.

Things To Know Before Buying Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance is a policy that pays a death benefit to beneficiaries if the policyholder passes away within a certain period of time or before a certain age is reached. For example, your coverage can be for a fixed time period, or until you reach the age of 85.

Term Insurance is an easy-to-understand and affordable way to keep your family’s financial situation secure if anything ever happens to you. When you buy a Term Life Insurance policy, you need to decide on three things. You need to decide on the company you prefer, your preferred length of term, and the amount of coverage. You will be covered for the term by paying the premium.

Your Family Can Use The Funds For:

  •  Pay any outstanding debts
  • Get rid of any guarantees
  • Supplement lost income
  • Children’s education
  • Help with partner’s retirement plan

Some things you should know before buying Term Life Insurance

Amount of Coverage: Reviewing your financial goals and figuring out the amount of coverage you need, will help guide you to the right policy. Although working with an Insurance Advisor is recommended, you can add up debts, tuition, and mortgage, subtract what you would pay, and the difference would be the estimated needed coverage.

Length of Term: You can choose a fixed term, allowing you to easily budget, and save more of, your money. You can choose anywhere from 10 to 30 years of coverage or you can pick a term of coverage as per your need which will cover you for the selected term

Look Around: You will need to search for the right insurance for you. As with most life insurance policies, your health and other factors play a big role in coverage. Rates will also vary from company to company. An insurance agent can help you find what you need.

Being Healthy: Although most insurance applications take weeks, and you have to fill out documents, have an exam, and give information if you are healthy, the process can move along quicker. If you don’t have any health conditions, you may be able to have an agent use online applications to approve you quicker than usual. Even if you do have to wait several weeks, you can still get temporary coverage.

Term Life Insurance is usually more affordable than other plans because it only covers a set term and doesn’t build up cash value. For those who may be struggling financially, Term Life Insurance can give you insurance security without stressing your bank account.
