Coverage built around a defined time horizon.
Understand the basic structure, the questions to ask at renewal, and why a low introductory price should never be the only comparison point.
What term life generally means
Term life insurance is designed to provide death-benefit coverage for a stated period, subject to the policy contract. Common structures may use multi-year terms, but available products vary by insurer and province.
Why people consider it
A defined term can align with needs that may reduce over time, such as a mortgage, income replacement during working years, or education-related obligations.
Questions to ask
- Is the premium level for the full term?
- What happens at renewal?
- Is there a maximum renewal age?
- Can the policy be converted to another form of coverage, and under what conditions?
- What underwriting information is required?
- What exclusions and limitations apply?
