Since term life is short term or temporary life insurance, it expires after a certain period of time.
The "term" or "duration" of your policy may be for a period of 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years.
The most common terms are 10, 15, 20 or 30 years for term life insurance.
If you have a need for life insurance that will last for a period of 30 years or less, then a term life policy will provide you with the lowest cost option for life insurance protection.
