Who should consider taking out Life Cover?
- People with family dependents
- People who are thinking about taking out a mortgage
- People over the age of 40 who realise that they are not quite as fit as they once were
- People who are thinking about succession/inheritance tax planning
Did you know?
Life insurance (also known as Life Assurance) is actually quite cheap – and the benefits for your loved ones can be huge!
There are three main kinds of life cover:
a) Decreasing Life Cover (or Mortgage Protection) - your mortgage balance is covered and as it decreases through capital being repaid, so too does the life cover.
b) Whole Of Life Cover – this covers you until you die for the whole of your life. The younger you start paying into this kind of policy, the cheaper the premiums.
c) Term Assurance - this means that the original sum borrowed is covered for the entire term irrespective of what the balance is when the life assured dies.
Only 20% of people actually adhere to their financial plan (source: LIA - Life Insurance Association)
The price you pay for a Life Cover policy depends on several factors, including:
- Your age
- Your health
- Your lifestyle
- Whether you smoke
- The length of the policy
- The amount of money you want to cover
