As you might imagine, a term life insurance plan offers cover for a defined period of time and, at the end of that time, you can discontinue the plan or purchase a new plan to provide further cover.
When you die the sum insured under the plan is paid out to your partner or nominated beneficiary but, if you outlive the plan, then you receive nothing. Thus it is a very effective method of providing funds to cover a known future expenses in the event of your death and is frequently the best way to get a good level of death benefit. Unlike many other forms of life insurance, term life insurance is not a 'cash builder' policy and so it is often called the purest form of insurance.
Before you buy a term insurance plan you need to think about your requirements for this form of insurance cover. You could for example have mortgage payments to make or children's education to take care of at a later date and a term life insurance plan will mean that the funds will be available to meet these bills if anything happens to you. You also have to consider whether or not it is to your advantage to have a plan solely on your own life or written as a joint policy together with your partner. You must also remember that your plan is only valid while you meet any regular premium payments and that failing to maintain such payments will result in the immediate termination of the plan.
Term life insurance offers a bridge for individuals who do not have life insurance and who feel that they cannot afford comprehensive life insurance cover such as that offered by a universal or whole life plan. In spite of the fact that a term life insurance policy is never going to acquire any cash value and is therefore of little use as a savings vehicle, it gives you protection in the event of your death to ensure your financial plans will be met and the future of your family secured.
