Deposit term life insurance

Type of level term insurance that needs a larger premium payment in the first year than the amount of annual premiums in subsequent years. This higher first-year premium is called a deposit . If the insured dies, double the deposit is added to the death benefit. If the insured lives, double the deposit is returned. If the policy lapses, the insured forfeits the deposit and receives no refund.
