Life Insurance - Term/Whole/Universal

TERM LIFE INSURANCE:

Level Term Life

A level term insurance policy provides an alternative to renewable term insurance, which features a level death benefit and annual premiums that increase each year.

While a level term insurance policy also provides a level death benefit, premiums are also guaranteed to remain level for the term period selected, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. If the insurance protection is still needed at the end of the selected level term period, these policies generally provide that the coverage can be renewed without evidence of insurability, with premiums then increasing each year thereafter.

  • Level death benefit

  • Level premiums for the duration of the selected term period (e.g., 10, 20 or 30 years)

  • Increasing premiums, if renewed after the selected term period

  • No cash values

  • May have policy dividends

  • Best suited for level needs of a somewhat known duration
     

Return of Premium Feature

When you purchase a level term insurance policy, your family receives the death benefit if you die during the term period. Chances are,
 however, that you’ll out live the term period. If your term insurance policy includes a return of premium feature and you outlive the term period, the insurance company will then return to you all of the premiums you’ve paid for the term insurance protection.

  • Return of premium term insurance enables you to “hedge your bets” . . . if something does happen to you, you’ve provided for your loved ones. If you out live the policy, the premiums you’ve paid will be returned to you.

  • A return of premium term insurance policy costs more than a traditional level term insurance policy, so it’s important that you understand the conditions under which premiums will be returned to you.

  • All return of premium term insurance policies return 100% of the premiums you’ve paid at the end of the term period, assuming the policy is in-force and no death benefit has been paid. If, however, you cancel the policy prior to the end of the term period, you may receive back none or only a percentage of the premiums you’ve paid. . . check the return of premium conditions before you purchase a return of premium term insurance policy.
