THE FLORENTE GUIDE · TERM LIFE INSURANCEProtection comes first
Tax treatment depends on the applicable tax year, chosen tax regime, eligibility, and current law. Do not choose or continue a policy only because of a possible deduction.
Check your own eligibility
Ask a qualified tax professional to confirm which provisions apply to your payments and benefits. Keep receipts and policy documents available for that review.
The details to put side by side.
Cover amount
List the financial commitments your family would need to meet.
Policy duration
Check the age at which cover ends and the premium-payment period.
Disclosures
Answer the insurer’s medical, occupation and lifestyle questions accurately.
Nominee and claims
Keep nominee details current and share claim contacts with your family.

- A list of dependants, debts and future commitments.
- Questions about policy duration, premium payments and optional riders.
- Any application or policy wording you would like explained.
