What is Term to 100 Life Insurance?
Term to 100 life insurance, also known as T100 or Term 100, is a type of permanent life insurance that lasts for the insured person's lifetime. Unlike other term life insurance products, such as the 10-year or 20-year term, term to 100 life insurance doesn't need to be renewed at the end of the term, and it also doesn't expire.
How does Term to 100 Life insurance work?
Once you've been approved for this plan, the premiums you pay remain the same throughout the policy term. When the life insured person reaches the age of 100, the premiums stop but the coverage continues. The policy pays a tax-free lump sum payout (only applicable for successful claims) for your named beneficiary upon your death.
Why consider a Term to 100 Life insurance plan?
Once you have identified the need for life insurance, what makes a term 100 plan a good option is the fact that, although the premiums stop at the age of 100, it covers the insured person for their lifetime. This could give the insured person permanent life coverage at a lower cost compared to some of the other permanent life insurance options.
If you're looking for a lifetime plan with permanent coverage where premiums are guaranteed not to increase and term renewals are not necessary, this could be a good choice. This could be ideal if you have lifelong dependents and wish to leave behind a legacy for your loved ones.
The Term 100 plan can be purchased right from the time you turn 18 (the younger you are, the lower the cost could be) up until the maximum age available for the plan. You will also need to be a Canadian resident to be eligible to apply for coverage with TD Insurance. With this plan, like all life insurance plans, your named beneficiary can receive a tax-free lump sum payment to use however they choose should you pass away.

Your named beneficiary could receive a lump sum tax-free payout to use however they choose: to help with a mortgage, replace lost income, cover the cost of education, or make a donation to a charity.
