Life insurance riders are optional benefits that you can buy to enhance your policy. Some of the more common ones are guaranteed insurability benefit, which lets you buy more insurance at a future date without medical evidence of insurability. Another common one is disability waiver of premium, which waives your monthly premiums for as long as you are disabled from work.

Things like fire arms, jewelry, antiques, recreational vehicles and things like that are things that are usually covered by riders. You will need to check with your agent to find out what is covered and what you might need extra coverage for.

That is a rider. It is a special statement that makes some type of exception to the terms of the policy.

Can a term rider be part of a term insurance policy?
A term life insurance policy is one that lasts for a finite period of time. The premium can stay level or increase with age, depending upon the product. Various kinds of riders are available for an additional premium (just as with whole life insurance policies). These include riders that undertake to pay the premium if the insured becomes disabled. If you can be more specific as to what you mean by a "term rider", I would be pleased to try to provide you with a further explanation.
If you let a life insurance policy lapse and then later have it reinsted how long do you have to wait before you can sell that life insurance policy?
What do you mean "Sell" the life insurance policy? Once it is back in force and you are the owner, you can cash it in at any time if there is in fact a cash value. I guess you would have to better define what you mean by selling it.
