Life

Everyone needs to be protected in times of loss. With life insurance you can provide for your loved ones even if . . . Well, you’re not there. It isn’t comfortable to think about but being prepared to provide for those you love in the event of your passing is important no matter what stage of life you are in.

Term:  

Term life insurance is sold in several different formats.  The common component in Term life is that it does not accrue any cash value.  You are simply paying a premium for insurance for a stated length of time.

There are two typical types of term insurance

Level term:  

Level term is typically sold in terms of 10, 20, or 30 years.  The policy may offer to continue coverage after that term but with very substantial rate increases.

Annual renewable:

Annual renewable term insurance provides coverage on an annual basis usually with age bands for premium increases.

Conversion options:

Some term insurance policies allow for conversion to a permanent policy.
