Term life insurance has it's setbacks. However, taking a few precautions will help you get the best from it. But before we go into things that will ensure this, I'll give an advice that applies to all insurance policies you buy...
Get your term life insurance policy from an insurance company that has an excellent reputation. Doing otherwise may prove fatal. Use resources like The Better Business Bureau (BBB) to check an insurer's track record.
Yes, it's true that policy holders of term life insurance could finally become uninsurable at the termination of their present term life policy. This however, could be covered if you get a term life insurance policy that is convertible to another life insurance policy and/or has guaranteed renewal as a feature. This option, nevertheless, cost you more.
If your policy has a guaranteed renewal feature your insurer has no option but to allow you to renew your term life insurance policy whenever it expires.
Another setback is the fact that you'll have to die to get the benefit. If you live to the end of the term, no benefit would be given. If a term life policy should expire by 26th of July, 2007 a full death benefit would be given if an insured dies by 11.45P.M 26th of July, 2007. However if the policy holder dies by 1.45am 27th of July, 2007 (2 hours afterwards) not even a dime would be received!
You can deal with this by again getting a term life policy that's convertible. If you get an option that is convertible, you can change over to whole life insurance thus taking advantage of the best of both worlds. If you are below forty-five, you can easily buy a term life insurance policy when you are in need of life insurance coverage but have little money to spare and later change over to permanent life insurance as your finance gets better.
