In Salt Lake County, Utah, which includes Salt Lake City and many of its suburbs and is the most populous county in the state, many older adults are surprised to learn that term life insurance for seniors is still widely offered, though available term lengths and prices change with age. Term coverage does not build cash value, which is why it usually costs less than whole life or guaranteed universal life for the same death benefit. If you are still paying a mortgage in your 50s or 60s, a senior term policy with a length matched to the remaining balance is one of the most common ways to protect the house. Some term policies allow conversion to permanent coverage before a set age, which can be valuable if your health changes later. Adults in their 50s and 60s in Salt Lake County who still have years left on a mortgage often match a 10 or 15-year term to the remaining balance.
