Of course, there is no best insurance, only what’s best for you. Whether you are looking for whole-of-life insurance, need insurance that covers you without a medical examination, or are looking to protect your mortgage, there’s a wide variety of policies to choose from.

What is life insurance and who’s it for?

Life insurance helps financially protect your loved ones in the event of your death. It can give peace of mind, in that if you are no longer around, your family will benefit from an amount of money which can aid their financial security.

It's worth considering if you have children, dependant relatives, a partner or family looking for financial security.

Types of life insurance

Level Term insurance – your monthly payments and the amount of cover stays the same over the length of the term.

Decreasing Term insurance – sometimes known as mortgage life insurance, decreasing term insurance means the payout amount falls each year. It’s generally used to help pay off a repayment mortgage as you can set the cover amount and the term of the policy to match the loan amount and length of your mortgage.

Increasing Term insurance – the payout amount goes up in time as does your monthly payment. Many choose it to protect the value of the payout against inflation, the rising cost of living.

Whole-of-life insurance – this aims to pay out an amount of money when you die, rather than cover you just for a fixed timeframe. Some people take out whole-of-life insurance to help pay inheritance tax.

Over 50 life insurance – this is whole-of-life insurance for people aged over 50. It pays out an amount of money that can be left as a gift or to help pay for your funeral.
