Protective Life Insurance Company has started marketing a new second-to-die term life insurance policy that is aimed at value-conscious consumers.
Called Protective Survivorship Term, the contract insures two lives under one policy, with the death benefit payable to the designated beneficiary following the second death, says Protective Life, a unit of Protective Life Corp., Birmingham, Ala.
The death benefit can be used to help pay estate taxes and other settlement costs, the company says.
