What Is Term Life Conversion
A Term life conversion in its purest form is taking your term policy and converting it into either a universal life product or a whole life product.
When you buy a term life insurance policy, you are mostly looking at the monthly premium and the term length.
These periods usually go from 5 years up to 30 years depending on the company.
However, these policies will eventually end, and you will have to either renew them, let them lapse, or convert them.
Of the 3 options, in my opinion, conversion is always the best option if you have a medical condition that may prevent you from getting coverage at a later time.
You can do this conversion without having to take any exams or prove insurability as long as you convert the policy before the conversion expiration period.
Transamerica Products & Conversion Options
Trendsetter Super & YRT – NY
This product gives you term options of 10, 20 and 30 year terms at a very affordable price.
When it comes to conversions, this product doesn’t offer any term conversion credits and isn’t convertible to a survivor product.
Conversion Period
In New York, you can convert your policy up to age 70 with the Trendsetter Super policy and up to age 75 if you were approved with a preferred plus rating.
For Example:
If you have a 15 year term policy and you are currently 55, you will have to convert the policy before you turn 70 years old.
If you have a 20 year term policy and you are currently 65, you will have to convert the policy by the age of 75 so that you don’t miss the conversion cutoff.
Trendsetter Super & YRT – NY Conversion Options
Once you have decided to convert your policy, you can convert it to the TransACE® CV product which is a No-lapse guaranteed universal life conversion product.
Waiver Of Premium Conversion Options
At an extra cost, in the state of New York, the Trendsetter Super & YRT has a rider available that provides you with a waiver of your required premiums if you become totally disabled.
The disability must happen before your 65th birthday while the policy is in force.
If your policy is currently being paid for with the Waiver of Premium rider, and your policy was purchased before 1997, you can still convert your policy to a permanent plan.
However, you will probably need to call Transamerica for more specifics to verify eligibility.

You have no limits on the number of conversions you can do, and you are also able to do partial conversions as long as you don’t fall below the product minimum.
