Term life insurance or term assurance is the insurance that provides coverage at a fixed rate of premium payments for a specific term. After the period expires, coverage at the previous premium rate is no longer guaranteed, and the customer must either forego coverage or potentially seek coverage at a higher premium rate or under different terms. Term insurance is often the most cost-effective approach to obtaining a substantial death benefit based on a coverage amount per premium dollar. The sale of life insurance policies constitutes the market for life insurance providers. The insurer offers to pay a selected beneficiary a sum of money in exchange for a premium following the death of an insured individual.
