Discuss Your OptionsTHE ESSENTIALS
What It Is.
How It Works.
Term life insurance is designed to protect your family during a defined period—often 10, 15, 20, or 30 years. If the insured dies while the policy is active, the carrier pays the stated death benefit to the named beneficiary, subject to the contract. Most term policies do not build cash value.

QUESTIONS TO ASK
Know Before
You Decide.
What happens when the term ends?+
Coverage ends unless the contract allows renewal, conversion, or another continuation option. Renewal can cost significantly more, so review the policy before the level term expires.
Can I cancel early?+
Generally yes, but term policies usually do not return premiums unless a specific return-of-premium feature applies.
How much coverage should I consider?+
That depends on income, debts, dependents, future obligations, existing savings, and budget. A needs-based review is more useful than a universal multiplier.
