If a life insurance term expires the policy may go out of force or renew at a higher premium. What happens depends on the type of plan and the wording of the policy. Term insurance policies have an end date after which they will not renew (age 85 for example). If the policy is a 10 Year Renewable Term, then it will renew at a higher premium at the end of each 10 year period. The policy is usually convertible to a permanent level premium policy with no medical evidence prior to a given age.

With term coverage, you buy a specific number of years of guaranteed consistent rates. After that term, the policy may end, but in most cases will continue but with a substantially higher premium rate. This is why many people buy permanent or whole or universal life. It does not increase its premium and continues for a lifetime, with that fixed premium. Thank you. GARY LANE.
That is a great question! A term policy lasts a designated period of time, and then ends. In some cases, it is a set number of years, 5, 10, 20, or 30. In other cases, like the popularly advertised tv policies, they end when the insured turns 80. In any case, to keep being insured, you need to renew it ( at very expensive rates), or find other coverage (which may also be very expensive if your health changed for the worse before the policy ended). A term policy is great for certain things, and not so great for others. It is always wise to consult with a good agent before purchasing a policy.
