If you are looking for a low rate life insurance, you can choose from the different types of term-life insurance. Unlike permanent life insurance, term life insurance policy is more affordable and provides protection up to a certain period of time.
The most commonly known type term life insurance is the increasing premium term life insurance policy. This is also called the yearly renewable term life insurance policy because the premium increases each year as long as the insured still owns the policy. Unlike other life insurance policy, increasing premium term life has a very low initial premium. This type is recommended for a short-term need. Another low rate life insurance is the decreasing term life insurance. This type, which has a decreasing face value, is usually used to pay-off mortgage in case the homeowner dies. Another type is the level term life insurance where the policy duration can be bought for a certain period where the maximum is 30 years. This is still considered as low rate life insurance policy although the cost is more than the two other types mentioned. The premiums and the death benefits remain level for the entire period. Universal life insurance has a level death benefit and premiums. You can actually choose to increase or decrease the amount in your savings or life insurance if you want to.
Is Term Life Insurance policy a good policy to have?

Excellent Question Kay,
Those who buy term life insurance do so because it is a limited expense policy that insures the policy holder for a specific period of time. If the person who holds the policy should pass away during that period of time then the company pays out the death benefit of the policy. The average time period that a policy is taken out for is a year. If the insured person is still alive after the period then they can then buy another one year policy.
This is not the best deal for the person looking for a good policy. If they should become ill during the year with something serious, something terminal, then they will be considered uninsurable. Each year the potential policy holder must pass a medical exam. This means that the person who is ill would be unable to be insured again and so would be left with no death benefits for their family. Therefore, this term life insurance is not the best option.
A better option would be to buy annual renewable term life insurance. This type of policy can be started at any point in time as long as the policy holder passes the medical exam. The term for these policies is usually anywhere from ten to thirty years. The policy holder pays once a year and as the person gets older the cost of the premiums will increase.
The advantage to this type of insurance is that there is more chance that the policy holder will get benefit from a long term policy and so the death benefits will be paid to the family of the insured person. If the person becomes ill during the coverage period the insurance company cannot do anything to terminate this type of policy. With some companies this can go on until the policy holder is ninety five, but not with all companies.

Bruce,
Term life insurance is the simplest form of life insurance on a limited
budget, and is available for a pre-defined period of time. It is typically
renewable and available with adjustable premiums to manage your expense when you are operating on limited financial resources. This type of insurance is also suitable for financial planning for the short term.Due to lower monthly premiums, term life insurance is more affordable than a whole life insurance.
Great Question.
