There you can find detailed information on term life insurance as well as permanent policies. Let us look at some of these policies.

There are three basic types of term policies...all but one have no cash values. The three types are yearly renewable term or increasing premium life insurance, decreasing term and level term life insurance. Each policy was designed to fit a particular need and should be examined thoroughly before you make a purchase...

Increasing premium term life is a one year term policy. The insurance company gives you the option of renewing it each year. Decreasing term is used as mortgage life insurance and is also quite inexpensive. The level term policies can be bought for periods of time from 5 years to 30 years. Some companies have them going up to age 80 or even age 90. There is, however, an increase in premium for these policies as you get older.

Which policy is the best? This depends on your particular need. A person who is the breadwinner for a family...or at least one of the breadwinners may find either the 20 year term policy, the 25 year term policy or the 30 year term the best term insurance policy for his or her situation. A person with short term needs would probably find the 5 year term or 10 year term would best fit his or her situation.

A fairly new level term life insurance policy is the return of premium term life policy. The difference between this policy and the other level term policies is that at the end of the term period you get back all the money you have paid in. This may sound good but bear in mind that this policy costs more than the regular level premium term policies. Unlike permanent policies you cannot take a loan from your policy if you are in need of cash.
