What is term insurance?

Home

Term life insurance is insurance that lasts for a specific time, such as 5 years or 10 years. The policy pays a death benefit in the event the insured dies during the specified period. Since term insurance is for a limited period and accumulates no cash value, the rates tend to be low for a given amount of insurance.
