➤ Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance is a life insurance that gives coverage for a fixed period of time at a fixed rate of payment. With the expiry of period, there is no guarantee of coverage at the previous rate of premiums and the client has to either forgo coverage or potentially obtain further coverage with new conditions of payments. In the event of death of the insured person, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary. This type of insurance is the least expensive way to buy a considerable death benefit on insured amount per premium dollar basis for a fixed period of time.

This type of insurance is suitable to give temporary protection for temporary requirements. There is flexibility in this insurance in that one can adjust their insurance with the change of needs.
