Term Life Insurance policies do an excellent job of meeting immediate and fixed time period needs such as loans, mortgages or family protection. Premiums are guaranteed for the duration of the coverage, even the subsequent renewal years. Your policy automatically renews at the end of the “term” without your providing proof of health to the Insurance Company.
