What is term life insurance?

Term life insurance is a contract for insurance on your (or another person’s) life that you buy for a set period of time (a ‘term’), usually 10 years. You pay premiums to keep the policy ‘in force’. At the end of each term you can usually renew it for another ‘term’, depending on the policy requirements.
