Term life insurance does run out. When it runs out is dependant upon the term that was intially purchased. Most term life insurance is offered in 10, 15, 20, and 30yr terms. This type of insurance is less costly than whole life (or permanent insurance), so it is typically used to provide coverage during peoples lives when they have young children, mortgages, or other large debts that would leave the family financial strapped if they should pass. There many types of life insurace available and it would be best to consult with a local agent to ensure that you get the coverage that best meets your needs at the point in your life that you get it. You should go over your coverages for all of your insurance with your agent at least once a year.

Yes, term life has an endpoint. The thing to be aware of is when. Many of the older policies written have much earlier term end dates than the newer plans. It is not uncommon to find 70 or 75 as an end date on older term policies. Newer policies may carry a 90 to 95 end date. Although some new plans only run the length of the level term period. Very important to open your policy and take a few minutes to read what it does do, or when selecting a new plan, ask the agent.
Term life insurance is generally a time certain product that has a termination date. Term life insurance should be purchased with a long conversion provision if the financial need to extend coverage becomes necessary. It is sometimes recommended to purchase term life insurance with an extra five year years to be give yourself a little flexibility.
PIP coverage - personal injury protection - is a required, optional coverage here in Texas. This means that if one elects not to include it on their auto insurance policy, that the coverage has to be rejected (rejecting the coverage requires the insured to sign a document noting that PIP coverage was offered and that the insured does not wish to obtain PIP coverage and is rejecting this coverage).
If one does elect to reject PIP coverage, it can always be added on the auto insurance policy at a later date.

Yes, usually term life insurance policies run out or expire at a certain age, age 85 for example. The reason it is usually not always is that there is coverage called Term 100, which covers you to age 100 as the name suggests.
Typically policies renew at a higher premium at the end of each term 5, 10 , 20 or 30 for example and then expire as stated at say age 85. Most are convertible to a level premium permanent insurance plan prior to a stated age.

In a way, with some companies. What generally happens is that after a stated period of time, 10 years, 20 or 30, the premium will start to increase dramatically. You will probably be forced to stop paying it. The way to avoid this is to convert your policy if permitted, to whole life. Otherwise try to obtain a whole life policy before your term ends. Five years or so after start is usually the sweet spot. Keep yourself covered, if there is any way possible. Thank you. GARY LANE.

Does term insurance run out? Yes, term insurance has it's own end date, even if you haven't met yours yet. Most newer policies will offer term coverage out to age 90 or 95. However the pricing of the coverage in those later years will often force cancellation by price for the insured. In lay terms, you are priced out of the policy.

At the end of your term you usually could renew it but it would be very expensive to do that.
The best term policies have a guaranteed conversion option to convert it to whole life.
If one does elect to reject PIP coverage, it can always be added on the auto insurance policy at a later date.
