How much coverage does our family need?

The right amount depends on your income, your debts, your children's future needs and the savings you already have. We work through these factors with you and recommend a figure that provides meaningful protection at a premium you can sustain.

What happens when the term ends?

Depending on your policy, you may convert some or all of the coverage to a permanent policy, renew it at a higher premium, or allow it to end if your family no longer needs it. We review these choices with you well before the term concludes.

Is a medical examination required?

Some policies require a brief examination, while others rely on health questions and records alone. We will explain the underwriting path for each carrier we recommend.

Term Life

Coverage at a glance

Term life insurance provides a death benefit for a defined period, often chosen to match the years of a mortgage, the years until children are grown or the years remaining until retirement. Premiums generally remain level throughout the term, and because the coverage is temporary, term life typically offers the most protection for the lowest premium.

Many term policies include a conversion option that allows you to exchange some or all of the coverage for a permanent policy without new medical underwriting, within the limits your contract sets. Some policies are also renewable at the end of the term, usually at a higher premium. Features and availability vary by carrier and by state.

Who it is designed for

Term life insurance is designed for people whose families rely on their income, including young parents, homeowners with a mortgage, couples planning for the future and business owners who want to protect a partner or a loan. It is especially valuable when a household needs a meaningful amount of protection at a premium that fits a growing family budget.

How the plan works

You select a coverage amount and a term length that reflect your family's needs, and you pay a level premium for the duration of the term. If you pass away while the policy is in force, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit, generally free of income tax, to replace your income, pay off debts or fund future goals.

We help you determine an appropriate amount of coverage by considering your income, your debts and the goals you hold for your family. We then compare carriers whose underwriting suits your health profile, guide you through the application and remind you of conversion opportunities as the end of your term approaches.
