Non-Traditional Life Insurance Plans, The use of the word ‘non-traditional’ should not be misleading in the sense that these life insurance types might be rare. The following forms of life insurance are used today by millions of Americans. They are non-traditional because they are not bound by traditional methods of underwriting; because they are marketed to a specific category of people; because most are newer plans; or because they are not sold as common forms of individual term life insurance, whole life insurance, or universal life insurance.
