Term life is the simplest form of life insurance. It provides a death benefit during a specified term period. If you survive the term period —and do not renew or convert the policy— the coverage expires with no value. Yearly renewable term life provides coverage for one year only, but —because the policy is renewable— you can extend the coverage at the end of each year, for an additional year; until the maximum age for renewability is reached.
