Types of Life Insurance

For most people "term" is the most effective form of cover as this pays out an agreed amount if you pass away in a specified period. These are much cheaper than permanent life insurance, however there are situations which require different types of plan:

  • Level Term - Dependant children / interest only debts

  • Decreasing Term - Repayment mortgages

  • Family Income Benefit - pays a monthly income

  • Whole of Life - Funerals / Inheritance Tax (medical questions - cheaper)

  • Over 50's - Funerals - Permanent cover (no medical questions)

What can affect the price of life insurance?

  • AGE
  • HEALTH
  • SMOKER?
  • PLAN DURATION
  • SUM ASSURED
  • DANGEROUS OCCUPATION

Some people may find it difficult to take out life insurance if they have a serious pre-existing medical condition, depending on how severe the condition some providers may increase the price or decline cover.

However many insurance companies look at conditions in different ways, and so just because one company increased the price or declined cover does not necessarily mean they all will.

The best thing to do is give us a call, using our experience we will find the provider who will look at your circumstances in the best light.

Terminal Illness Cover is included for free with most providers. It could pay out if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness and you GP believes that you have 12 months or less to live, rather than on death.

Critical Illness is available when you buy life insurance at an additional cost. It's designed to pay if you're diagnosed with a specified critical illnesses during the length of your policy. The illness' considered to be critical varies sometimes dramatically between providers, so it is important to make sure that you are getting good quality as well as a good price

Yes we can help you place your life insurance plan into trust for FREE when you take out a plan.

This can help you reduce your inheritance tax liability and will generally get the money to your loved ones faster than where probate is required.

Not always, you can choose to take out a plan that will pay out a monthly income instead of a lump sum.

Yes, you can cancel a plan at any time however you wont get any money refunded. If you cancel within the first 30 days you will get your first premium returned.

If your life insurance is placed in trust however you will need the permission of all the trusties to cancel the plan.

This will depend on the type of insurance that you purchase but it is easy to fix your price when you buy your plan. For further information use the links below

Guaranteed premiums - Fixed price

Reviewable premiums - Price will increase at 5 year intervals

Index linked plans - Price increasing in line with inflation, but your cover is going up too

Age rated plans - price goes up each year on your birthday (this is usually a bad idea over the long term)

Generally joint plans are cheaper, and if you have no other dependants or if the plan is only needed to repay a mortgage this is the best bet.

However although Individual plans are slightly more expensive (as you are covered independantly),  if you both passed away there would be twice as much money for your children/other dependants.
