How Term Life Insurance Works
Term life insurance is designed to provide protection for a fixed period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. If the insured person dies while the policy is active, the policy can pay the benefit to the named beneficiaries according to its terms.
It is often used for needs that may reduce over time, including mortgage protection, family income replacement, and education planning.
