Qu'est-ce que le/la Assurance temporaire décès ?

L'assurance temporaire décès est la forme la plus simple d'assurance vie : elle paie un capital fixe si l'assuré décède pendant une durée déterminée, sans composante d'épargne et donc à très faible coût.

Term insurance is dramatically cheaper than permanent life — often a tenth of the cost for the same coverage — because most policies expire without paying out. It is the most efficient way to cover temporary obligations: a mortgage, children's college years, the working career of a primary earner.

Most policies are level term (constant premium and benefit). Renewable term lets you renew without a new medical exam, at much higher rates. Convertible term lets you upgrade to permanent insurance later — useful as health changes.

Exemple

A 30-year-old non-smoker pays CHF 20/month for CHF 500,000 of 20-year level term life insurance — the cheapest way to protect a young family against income loss.

What if I outlive the term?+

Coverage ends. You can renew (more expensive) or convert to permanent if the rider exists.

Does term build cash value?+

No — it is pure protection. That is why it costs so little.
