Actually, whole life insurance policy other than endowment,single premia or ulip policy can be called ordinary life insurance policy.
Yes, all life insurance companies allow the policy owner to name more than one beneficiary at any time.
A life settlement is a financial transaction in which the owner of a life insurance policy sells an unneeded policy to a third party for more than its cash value and less than its face value. Until recently, if a policyowner opted out of a policy by surrendering the policy or allowing it to lapse, the additional value was relinquished back to the issuing life insurance company.
Yes, monthly payments are more for a 20 year term life insurance policy than for a 10 year policy. This is usually the case for all forms of insurance since the insurance company is in effect taking on more risk by insuring you for a longer period of time when injury and health problems could arise.

A level term insurance policy can be less expensive than other types of life insurance. However, the longer the term, the more expensive the premium will be.
If there are more than one claimant in a life insurance policy, all of them are to make claim for the pay out.
The main advantage of a life insurance settlement is that instead of a life insurance "surrender", (which sometimes happens if the owner can no longer afford the premiums),the owner of the policy can sell the policy to a third party and in turn receive "some" money from it. The person selling will definitely get less than the policy is worth, but more than if they completely gave it up.

The answer is yes to both of your questions.
It depends on what type of policy you get. Term life insurance is a limited policy which you retain for a specified number of years. Whole life insurance is a policy that covers you for life. There are pluses and minuses for each. Term life rates can go up yearly but the cost at first purchase is much lower than whole life. For more information, talk to your agent
