People over 50 in New Castle County, Delaware, which is the state's northernmost and most populous county, who still carry a mortgage or support a spouse often find that term life insurance for seniors costs less than permanent coverage for the same benefit. Premiums are based on age and health at application, so the same coverage generally costs noticeably more at 65 than at 55. Many Delaware residents commute into Pennsylvania, Maryland, or New Jersey, and it helps to size coverage around your whole financial picture rather than a rule of thumb. Some term policies allow conversion to permanent coverage before a set age, which can be valuable if your health changes later. Seniors in New Castle County whose earlier term policy is expiring often compare a new term policy with converting the old one. Ask a licensed agent how senior term life insurance would work for you in New Castle County, Delaware; nothing is binding until you apply.
