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 and Term 20 plans have some extra flexibility with our exchange option. Clients can exchange their Term plan starting on the 1st policy anniversary up to the earlier of the 5th policy anniversary and
     1. the insured’s age 65, if exchanging to T20, or
     2. the insured’s age 55, if exchanging to T30/65.  

The new Term plan will be issued at current age and rates. By exchanging their Term coverage, clients can be covered with premiums that stay level longer. They can also choose to convert their Term 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!).


What if a client’s temporary need for protection today changes to both a temporary need and a lifetime need?

A partial conversion might be the way to go!

Clients can choose to convert part of their term coverage to a permanent plan and:
     1. keep their remaining term coverage on the original term plan, or
     2. cancel or reduce their remaining term coverage, or
     3. carryover the remaining term coverage as a term life insurance rider on the new permanent plan 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 to the new permanent plan. 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 new permanent coverage amount. Any remaining term coverage will stay on the original term policy.

See the Term Admin Guide for more details. 


What if a client’s temporary need for protection today 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 can be covered off with guaranteed level premiums!

Any conversion must be done before the age specified in the term life insurance policy. See the Term Admin Guide and policy for more details.
