Even though your term period has expired, your policy may still have value to you. If you find that you still need life insurance protection, you do have options for extending, converting or renewing the coverage.
If your state of health is rock solid or relatively good enough, it is time to shop for a new level term insurance. You may need to pass a medical exam and, in most cases, pay the standard amount for an individual within your age range.
