Life cover pays out a lump sum if you die or are diagnosed as terminally ill (have less than 12 months to live). Some products also pay out a partial payment for certain terminal conditions or where you have less than 24 months to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you take out life cove you can choose to have stepped premiums (these increase with your age) or level premiums (do not increase with age).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is possible to have a type of life cover that pays monthly payments instead of a lump sum. This is appropriate when the beneficiary is not good with money and a lump sum payment might not be appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life cover isn\u2019t appropriate for everyone, but is vital if you have young children, or a mortgage where your partner would be unable to make payments on a home loan if you were to die prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can let you know if life cover is the best product for you or if there is something else that is better suited to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
