Term Life Insurance in Mount Prospect & Beyond
Affordable Protection for the Years Your Family Needs It Most
Term life insurance provides financial protection for a set period — typically 10, 20, or 30 years. It’s the most affordable way to secure a high death benefit, making it a popular choice for young families, new homeowners, and anyone looking to safeguard income during key life stages. If the unexpected happens during the term, your loved ones receive a tax-free benefit that can replace income, pay off debts, cover childcare or education costs, and provide long-term stability. Held Insurance Agency makes choosing the right term policy simple, clear, and tailored to your goals.
What’s Included in a Term Life Policy

Common options include 10-, 20-, and 30-year terms. Choose a length that aligns with major obligations like raising children or paying off a mortgage.
High Coverage at a Low Cost
Term life typically offers the most coverage per dollar, making it ideal for budget-conscious families needing substantial protection.
Income Replacement Protection
Provides financial support for your family so they can maintain stability and meet ongoing expenses in your absence.
