Benefits and risks
Benefits
-
Peace of mind for your loved ones
Reassurance that your family will receive financial support if the worst should happen. If you have an outstanding mortgage, your provider might ask you to take out a life cover policy so they know that the mortgage can be repaid if you die. -
Your policy isn’t typically subject to income tax
When a life insurance policy pays out, you shouldn''t need to pay income tax or capital gains tax on life insurance, even if the policy provides a lump sum or a regular income. -
You can put your life insurance policy in trust
If you put your life insurance policy 'in trust' then you separate your estate and avoid inheritance tax. You will be free to choose trustees, who will take care of the policy on behalf of all your loved ones.
Risks
-
Getting the right level of cover
The more cover you take out then the higher your premium will be, however, if you undervalue how much money your dependents require, then your loved ones may not receive what they need. -
Your policy may be subject to inheritance tax
Your life insurance policy could be subject to inheritance tax but this could be reduced or avoided with a whole of life insurance policy, as the payout would typically cover the tax bill. -
Your policy may not cover all incidents resulting in death
Knowing what your life insurance policy covers is important, as death from certain causes, such as drug and alcohol abuse and high-risk activities, may be excluded from your policy.

Answering your questions
Still unsure of a few things? We've got you covered with a few simple answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Life insurance is cover that pays out if you pass away or if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness during your policy term. It can provide the financial support your loved ones need after you're gone, whether that is paying off the mortgage or maintaining their standard of living.
The length of term you select for your life insurance cover can often depend on how many years you have left on the mortgage or how many years until all your children have reached independence (typically 21).
Level Term Life Insurance ensures that your family is paid a fixed amount of money if you pass away during the term of your policy.
Decreasing Term Life Insurance is designed to pay off a repayment mortgage, should the policyholder pass away. As your mortgage decreases over time, so does the value of the policy payout.
Whole of Life Insurance will pay a lump sum to your family whenever you pass away, but because a payout is guaranteed, they're considerably more expensive.
Over 50s Life Insurance is a specialist type of whole of life insurance that offers guaranteed acceptance without any medical checks for those aged 50+.
Critical illness insurance means you will receive your payout if you're diagnosed with a qualifying condition detailed in your policy. It's often an optional extra on many life insurance policies, or can be bought as a stand-alone product.
Terminal illness insurance offers the option to pay out if the insured person is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Many life insurance policies include this type of cover as standard, but do check your terms and conditions to be sure.
There are a few things you’ll need to consider when deciding how much cover you need:
-
Your home
Have peace of mind that your mortgage or rent is covered. You could benefit from a policy that pays out until your mortgage is cleared.
-
Living expenses
Think about any household bills or family expenses your loved ones may struggle to pay if you're not around.
-
Income replacement
Not ready to retire? You could calculate how many years you need to keep earning to help support your loved ones.
-
A funeral
Funeral expenses are something your policy could help cover. If you don't have an existing funeral plan, you could factor in this cost.
-
Childcare costs
You may want to consider covering childcare and your loved one's education expenses, giving them invaluable financial protection.
-
Outstanding debts
It's important to think of any outstanding debts that you may have such as credit cards, loans or car repayments.
