A few health questions — often no medical exam.
Your rate never increases as you age.
Funds reach your family quickly, when it matters most.

|---|---|---|
| Purpose | End-of-life costs | Income replacement |

| Length | Permanent | A set term |
| Approval | Simplified / no exam | Usually medically underwritten |
