Annual Renewable Term Life

 

Term life insurance is a type of life insurance that insures the buyer a specific term of their life only, once that term is expired; the buyer has the option to renew the policy at an increased premium or to purchase a new policy.

 

The term of an annual renewable term life insurance is one year, the death benefit is payable to the beneficiary if the insured dies within the one year period, there will be no compensation if the insured dies even one day after the expiration of the policy.

 

The purchase of this type of policy is rare because a person who purchased the policy will die in the period of one year is rare case too. When a person contracts a terminal illness during the term but does not die before the expiration, he will receive no compensation, but because of the illness he will be considered as uninsurable and unable to renew the policy.

 

So term life insurance policies has solution for this problem, they have included a condition called re-insurability, which means that if this feature is included in the buyer’s term life policy, the buyer will be able to renew his insurance for as long as he wishes, without the necessity of providing proof of insurability.

 

A common type of term life insurance is called Annual Renewable Term; this has the similarity as the one year term life insurance, and the policy will be able to continue each year for a given period of time, from 10 years to 30 years or more. A person who purchased this type of policy can renew the policy but at a higher premium, as long as he keeps on paying premiums, the death benefit would still remain   

 

A person who has the interest to purchase this type of policy is advised to find out the calculation of the increased premium each year, and consider whether if the policy is suitable for him.
