The best type of life insurance policy for your question would be a term life insurance policy. Term life insurance is a kind of temporary life insurance coverage that can provide you with a very high “Face Value” (which is the total monetary value included under your policy for death benefits) for very low or cheap life insurance premiums.
Term life insurance is good for those who are only looking into getting life insurance coverage for themselves (and effectively their income-generating capability) while attending to long term financial obligations such as raising a family, or in your case, paying house mortgage there in Alaska and paying for your kids tuition and other future expenses.
You have the option to get life insurance coverage for five, ten, twenty, even thirty years (depending on what is being offered) and there will be some providers who can give you a guaranteed renewable term policy so that you can still renew your policy should you wish to extend your coverage after the term policy expires.
It is important to note, however, that if you are thinking of long term insurance. It might be best to go with a Whole life insurance policy eventually. Term life Insurance premiums tend to get more expensive as one gets older and may not be cost-effective anymore once you are already in your golden years. It would be very good to shop around to get the best rates available. Life insurance portals (such as this one) are great tools to compare quotes across many different companies.
