The two main types are term and permanent life insurance. Term life provides coverage for a specified period, commonly 10, 20, or 30 years. Permanent life insurance is designed to provide lifetime coverage as long as the policy remains in force, and it builds cash value that the policyholder can access during the insured person’s lifetime.
