The policy also has a predetermined length of time that it is in effect, these terms normally range from 1 to 30 years with policies in the 10 year range being the most popular. This is also the most inexpensive way to purchase the security of life insurance and in most instances you could receive a much higher coverage amount for your money over a standard whole life policy. Once the initial policy time frame expires the insured person normally has the option to renew the policy.
