Life insurance pays out a cash sum if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness during the term of your policy.
Life Insurance policies are generally arranged to help families cope with the financial pressure of losing a loved one. There are various forms of life cover, suiting all sorts of needs.
On the whole, people take out life insurance for three main reasons:
- To repay the mortgage – your home is usually the largest investment you will make, and life insurance is a great way to ensure that it is properly protected.
- To provide for their family – life insurance can help insulate your family from the financial impact resulting from your death.
- To pay for funeral costs – funerals are often a forgotten expense, but nowadays one typically costs around £4,383*.
Life Insurance policies can be taken out on either a single or joint life basis, depending on your requirements. A joint life policy will pay out on the death of the first policyholder.
