Term 10 Life Insurance Solution
Term life insurance is designed to cover relatively short-term insurance needs,
and Term 10 plans offer protection for 10 years.
If your need for life insurance is up to 14 years, then a traditional Term 10
life insurance policy that is both renewable and convertible is your most cost
effective option. This coverage is appropriate for people who have teenage
children, and/or a mortgage which is being paid down and requires insurance for
protection against the unexpected.
Term 10 life insurance is the most popular term insurance, and constitutes
approximately 50% to 60% of all term insurance sales in Canada.
A Term 10 life insurance policy:
- Offers an initial 10-year term, with the premium completely guaranteed (e.g.
your premium will remain the same for the 10 year term).
- Can be renewed when the initial 10-year term is over for another10 year period
(as long as the plan is "renewable").
- Can be converted to a whole life insurance policy, as long as it is
"convertible". Whole life is different than term, and comes with a cash value.
- Is renewable up until age 80 or 85 for most insurance carriers.
If you decide to renew the plan then the premium after renewal will be higher
than the initial rate, however, continued coverage is guaranteed and you do
not require a medical exam at renewal time.
