YOU ASK:

What is the definition of Decreasing Term Life Insurance?

WE ANSWER:

Decreasing Term Life Insurance is the kind of insurance where, as time passes, the coverage becomes smaller and smaller. Although the premiums remain the same, the face amount decreases every year.

This is usually cheaper than other kinds of term life insurance. However, as you get older (and start to need more insurance) it becomes more expensive for you to add to your life insurance. And, if you outlive the coverage period, that means that your beneficiaries stands to receive nothing.

Decreasing Term Life Insurance only offers a temporary protection. This kind of insurance is usually taken for cases such as when you would like to secure payments for your mortgage. Your balance will naturally decrease as you make your regular payments.
