Term life insurance policies provide temporary coverage lasting for a set period of time, usually up to thirty years.
When the term (duration) of your policy ends, your life insurance coverage expires, you are no longer insured.
For example, if you have a 10 year term life policy, your coverage expires at the end of the ten year period.
However, permanent life insurance provides lifetime coverage, so you are insured for your entire lifetime, as long as your premiums are paid.
