TERM CONVERSION Upgrade your protection
Term life insurance plays an important role in protecting your loved ones during a critical period of time. But what happens when your needs extend well into the future? At New York Life, you can convert your term insurance to permanent or long-term protection without a medical exam, so you can be sure your life insurance coverage will continue to meet your evolving needs.1
Keep your loved ones safe, now and into the future
When you convert your term life insurance, you’ll do more than just extend your coverage—you’ll also gain a flexible financial asset. It can build cash value, which you may access for college funding, a down payment on a house, extra income for retirement, or for emergency expenses. 2
Though life is unpredictable, you can rest easy knowing that with long-lasting protection like whole life insurance, your family's future can be safe and prosperous.
Universal life is another option that can offer you long term insurance. Give your agent a call to find out how.
Why choose whole life to secure your family’s future?
A guaranteed benefit
Our permanent life insurance lasts your whole life, securing your family’s financial future.3
Tax advantages
Not only are permanent policies tax-deferred, but the cash value is also yours to use during your lifetime—and it’s accessible tax free.2
Dividends and value
You’ll build cash value over time, and dividends can be re-invested to increase your coverage and equity.4
