There are several different ways a life insurance policy may come to an end.

  • The Insured Person Dies While Policy Is In Force 
  • Term Life Policy Expires
  • You Cancel Your Policy
  • The Insurer Cancels Your Policy 


There are two basic types of life insurance: Term and Permanent.

A term life insurance policy ends when the policy term expires.

Whereas, a permanent life insurance policy lasts your entire lifetime, as long as the premiums are paid on time.
