How to Choose a Term Life Insurance Policy
Though term life insurance is one of many types of life insurance available, it is popular because of it's flexibility, affordability and guaranteed payout.
Life insurance policies come in a great number of shapes and sizes. If you're choosing a policy for the first time, it's important initially to decide which type of life insurance is ideal for your specific situation. Policies can generally be broken down into two categories - term and permanent.
Term life insurance, which can be a more popular option, provides coverage for a specific length of time which you choose; while permanent life insurance covers you in perpetuity. We find that term life insurance is right for many people, but if you have questions about whether you should purchase term or permanent life insurance, you can always contact one of our licensed agents for assistance.
What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance policies are generally between 10 and 30 years in length. These term policies provide both a fixed premium (the amount you'll pay) as well as a fixed payout (the amount we'd pay your family). Term life insurance is a popular option because it boasts benefits that are attractive to people of most ages and situations. These benefits include:
Affordability - Not only will you pay the same rate for the entire term, but you can also choose a coverage amount and term length to fit your budget.
Low maintenance - Term life insurance allows you to "set it and forget it". As long as you pay your premiums, your policy continues throughout the designated time period.
Guaranteed Payout - Your death benefit is fixed, meaning that beneficiaries receive the payout that you chose at the beginning of your term. More options - You can choose the term policy with the time limit and coverage amount that is ideal for your current and future needs.
Once you decide upon term life insurance, you'll need to consider for how long you'll need a policy to be in effect and the coverage amount that you'll need. Answering these questions begins by considering the following:
How long do I need a life insurance policy?
The length of your term policy depends on how long you anticipate financially supporting your loved ones. Ask yourself this...
Do I have a mortgage or other debt? If you have debt, the length of time it will take you to pay it off can be a helpful indicator in the term length of your policy.
Who depends on me? If you know how long you'll be depended on for financial support from a spouse or children, it can help you identify the length of time you'll need a term policy.
What can I afford? The dollar amount of life insurance coverage you need can affect your term length. If you need a high amount of coverage, you may want to consider a shorter term length to fit your budget.
