Are you Insured-Term Life Insurance

Have you taken enough life insurance to ensure that if you die too early your family will get a sum that will ensure that they do not have to make any adjustments in their life style?
If you died tomorrow would your spouse or family have sufficient funds to pay the mortgage, pay off credit card debts or send the children to college?

Term life is a pure risk cover which provides a tax-free death benefit to your dependents in case of your early or unfortunate demise within the term of the policy. If you do not die within the term, the policy expires and you receive nothing.

Term plans are not the favourite of many of the life advisors because they get low commission on their sale. So they do not recommend the same to their clients .

The other reason why term plans are not favorite is because its very hard for most of us to grasp the concept of insurance as purely a death cover. We still want to get something back if we do not die during the policy term.
