Life insurance is one of the most straightforward and important forms of financial protection available. If you die during the policy term, it pays out a lump sum to the people you choose giving them financial security at the worst possible time.
It’s not a pleasant thing to think about. But getting it in place is one of the kindest things you can do for the people who rely on you.
You have a mortgage or other debts The payout can be used to clear or reduce your mortgage, meaning your family won’t have to worry about losing their home at an already difficult time.
You have children or dependants It can cover everyday living costs, childcare, education and other expenses — helping to maintain your family’s quality of life if you’re no longer there to provide for them.
Your partner or family relies on your income Even if you don’t have children, a partner who depends on your earnings could face serious financial difficulty without you. Life insurance provides a safety net when it’s needed most.
You want to cover funeral costs Funerals can be expensive and often come at short notice. A life insurance policy can take that financial burden away from your loved ones entirely.
Level term — pays out the same fixed amount whenever you die during the policy term. Good for covering general living costs or leaving a lump sum for your family.
Decreasing term — the payout reduces over time, in line with a repayment mortgage. Usually cheaper than level term and ideal if your main concern is covering the outstanding mortgage balance.
Whole of life — covers you for your entire life rather than a fixed term, and is guaranteed to pay out. Typically used for inheritance planning or to cover funeral costs.
