What it is
How term life insurance works
Term life insurance covers you for a set number of years at a fixed premium. If you pass away during that term, your beneficiary receives a tax-free death benefit. It is the lowest-cost way to carry a large amount of protection during the years your family needs it most.
- A large death benefit for a low monthly premium
- Terms of 10, 20 or 30 years to match your obligations
- A level premium that stays the same for the whole term
- A tax-free benefit paid directly to your beneficiary
- Options to convert to permanent coverage later on many policies
The right term usually lines up with how long someone depends on your income, such as until a mortgage is paid or the kids are grown, and Earl sizes it to those real numbers.
How it works
How Earl builds your policy
Add up what needs protecting
Earl looks at your mortgage, income and the years your family relies on you to set the coverage amount.
Pick the right term length
The term is matched to how long the obligation lasts, so you are not paying for coverage you no longer need.
Shop carriers for the rate
Earl compares carriers so you get a competitive premium for your age and health.
Keep the option to convert
Many term policies can convert to permanent coverage later, and Earl points out which ones keep that door open.
