There are two basic types of life insurance: Temporary (Term) and Permanent.
Temporary life insurance is most commonly known as
Term Life. This is an insurance product that will guarantee a level premium for a period of years or term that you have chosen. At the end of this period, the premium will automatically renew at a higher dollar amount. The amount of insurance purchased, the benefit, will remain the same for as long as you own the policy.
Permanent life insurance is an insurance product that will stay in force for as long as you live. Typically, these policies are quoted to show the payment schedule up to age 100 and the benefit will be level or increasing over the life of the policy depending on the insurance product that you have chosen. The premiums are more expensive for these products, but are normally quoted level for the life of the policy. The most common types of permanent life insurance are
Whole Life and
Universal Life.
You should review your life insurance policy if your circumstances change for the better or for the worse.
