What’s the difference between Level and Decreasing terms?

The two types of life insurance policies are Level term and Decreasing terms. Level term insurance policies will pay out a lump sum if you die within the period of time detailed on your policy. Decreasing terms function is to cover a repayment mortgage so the pay out will decrease over time, e.g. if a client has a £200,000 mortgage over a 25 year period the cover will decrease over time and simply pay off the mortgage if anything happens.
