Term life can be purchased in many ways. Your employer may offer term life with special terms as a benefit to you and your family. Many affinity groups (alumni associations, professional groups, etc.) offer special products. Although term insurance may be available from many sources, purchasing an individual policy provides the best features and flexibility and often at a better price.
One of the most common uses of Term Life insurance is known as “Mortgage Insurance” which is offered by banks and large financial institutions to provide funds to pay off a mortgage in the event of the premature death of a mortgage holder.
