Term Life Insurance
We’ll help you find the right term life policy to cover your family, your mortgage, or your income, without overpaying for what you don’t need.
Simple, Affordable Protection for What Matters Most
Term Insurance is the most affordable type of insurance when initially purchased, is designed to meet temporary needs. It provides protection for a specific period of time (the "term") and generally pays a benefit only if you die during the term. This type of insurance often makes sense when you have a need for coverage that will disappear at a specific point in time. For instance, you may decide that you only need coverage until your children graduate from college or a particular debt is paid off, such as your mortgage.
How Term Life Insurance Works
Term life insurance pays a tax-free death benefit to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy’s term. Here's what makes it appealing:
Affordable Coverage
Term life typically offers the highest death benefit for the lowest premium—perfect for families or individuals on a budget.
Fixed Term Length
Choose a policy term (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years) based on your financial responsibilities and timeline. Coverage ends when the term expires, unless renewed or converted.
Simplicity
There’s no cash value or investment component—just pure protection for your loved ones.
Convertibility Option
Many term policies offer the option to convert to a permanent life insurance plan without new medical underwriting, giving you flexibility for the future.
Who Is Term Life Insurance For?
Term life insurance is a great fit for individuals who:
- Need temporary protection during high-responsibility years
- Want income replacement for dependents in case of premature death
- Are paying off a mortgage or student loans
- Are looking for coverage to protect young children or a spouse
- Prefer a cost-effective solution with high coverage amounts
Choosing the Right Term Policy
A well-chosen term life policy can bring peace of mind and financial protection for decades. When comparing options, consider:
- Term Length: Match the policy duration to your major financial obligations (e.g., 20 years until your youngest child finishes college).
- Coverage Amount: Choose a benefit amount that would replace income, pay off debt, or support your loved ones.
- Conversion Options: Look for policies that allow you to upgrade to permanent insurance later.
- Carrier Reputation: Work with a trusted provider with strong financial ratings and customer service.
What Happens at the End of the Term?
At the end of your term, you may have a few options:
- Let the policy expire (if protection is no longer needed)
- Renew annually (at a higher rate)
- Convert to a permanent policy (if available under your plan)
An experienced insurance agent can help you make a seamless transition or evaluate your ongoing needs.
