Convertibility - The power of term life insurance
As clients’ needs change, their insurance should too. Equitable® Term life insurance can help cover a client’s temporary needs today and help protect a client’s permanent needs in the future.
All our term life insurance solutions give clients the option to convert to a permanent life insurance policy, regardless of their health at that time!
Let’s look at some of the flexibility Equitable Term life insurance gives clients.
What happens if a client’s temporary need for protection today…
... extends beyond the initial term of the policy?
Term 10 and Term 20 coverages renew on an annual basis once the initial term is over, so clients can keep their coverage for longer than the initial term. At each renewal, premiums increase to an amount that is guaranteed in their contract.
Our Term 10 plans have some extra flexibility with our exchange option. Within the first 5 years of the policy or before the client turns 65 (whichever comes first), clients can exchange their Term 10 plan for a Term 20 plan issued at current age and rates. By exchanging their Term 10 coverage, clients can be covered for up to 25 years total without having a renewal. They can also choose to convert their Term 20 plan sometime in the future to a permanent plan. This is all without having to give us proof of continued good health (this means no underwriting!).
… changes to both a temporary need and a lifetime need?
A partial conversion might be the way to go!
Client can choose to convert part of their term coverage to a permanent plan and:
- keep their remaining term coverage on the original term plan, or
- cancel or reduce their remaining term coverage, or
- carryover the remaining term coverage as a term life insurance rider on the new permanent policy at then-current age and rates.
How a partial term conversion with a term rider carryover works
If 50% or more of the original term coverage is being converted to permanent coverage, the remaining term coverage can be added as a term rider. That means, all their coverage on one policy with one policy fee.
If less than 50% of the original term coverage is being converted to permanent coverage, the maximum amount that can be carried over as a term rider will be equal to the permanent coverage amount. Any remaining term coverage will stay on the original policy.
See the Term Admin Guide for more details.
… changes to a lifetime need?
Explore a full conversion! Under a full conversion, clients can convert their entire term coverage to Equimax®, our industry-leading participating whole life plan, or an Equitable Generations™ universal life plan. By doing this, the client’s need for lifetime protection is covered off with guaranteed level premiums!
Any conversion must be done before the age specified in the term life insurance contract. See the Term Admin Guide and policy contract for more details.
