Term life insurance
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance is a type of life insurance that gives your beneficiaries a payout if you die anytime during the term or length of you policy.Â
With term life insurance, you can choose exactly how long you will be covered. Some of our clients find it helpful to match their coverage length with various milestones, like paying off a mortgage or seeing their children through college. Whatever your needs are, you can build a custom term policy and covert to permanent policy later.
Consider term life insurance if you are looking for:
Quick. Personalized. No obligation.
You can choose a term length between 10 and 40 years.
Provides your family stability at the very time they will need it most.
Plan start as little as you can afford. You can pay monthly or annually.
Switch to longer term protection in the future as provided by policy provisions.
How does it work?
Term coverage provides protection for a fixed payment amount, for a given number of years. This could be 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 years. You can choose the amount of time you need.
You can choose term as per your specific needs for an example if your mortgage is ending in 18 years and you want coverage specifically for this, you can have term life insurance for 18 years.
Then your beneficiaries – the people or person you want to leave money behind to – will get a tax-free death benefit. This is provided you give us accurate information when you apply and pay your premiums on time.
The death benefit refers to the amount of money your beneficiary gets when you die. The exact amount they get depends on how much life insurance coverage you buy. Your beneficiaries can then use the money from that benefit for any reason.
The main difference between permanent life insurance and term life insurance is that permanent life insurance offers lifelong insurance coverage whereas term only covers you for a specific number of years (e.g. 10, 15 or 20 years).Â
Both term and permanent life insurance will give your beneficiaries a payment after you die. But with a term policy, your beneficiaries won’t receive any money if you die after your term expires. Also, with a term policy your premiums may increase if you want to renew your term. With most permanent life insurance, however, your premiums are guaranteed to remain the same all throughout your life, regardless of any changes to your health.

You have the option to renew your policy. However, your premiums may increase when you renew.
Some policies will let you convert your policy to permanent life insurance – which offers lifelong insurance coverage that doesn’t expire. Â
You can buy additional life insurance to top up the life insurance you get through your employee benefits. This provides you with insurance coverage even if you leave your job or retire. Â Â
