We tell you when a no-exam policy costs more than one with a quick exam, and let you choose.
Term life questions
What happens when the term ends?
Coverage ends, or the premium jumps if you keep it. Most people convert part of it to permanent coverage before then or buy a new term policy.
How much do I need?
A common starting point is 10 times your income plus the mortgage balance. We walk through it on the call.
Does the payout get taxed?
Life insurance death benefits are generally received income-tax free by the beneficiary.
