WHAT IS TERM INSURANCE?

Generally it has been difficult to write good term insurance for Americans living outside the USA and others living outside their home countries. Now we have several companies that are willing to provide this insurance. We can write term insurance for almost any country in the world.

What is term insurance? It is protection for your spouse and children if you pass away. It is different from "life" insurance because there is no reimbursement to you if you live past the term of the policy.

Here is how it works: If you take out $100,000 of 20-year-level term insurance, and then died before the 20 years were up, your beneficiary would receive $100,000. If you lived past the 20-year life of the term policy, you would receive nothing. Most people purchase term insurance because it is much less expensive than life insurance and because they don't want to leave their family destitute if they die.
