What is life insurance?

Life insurance can be complicated and involves thinking about the inevitable, which makes it something we can put off. However, it can be essential if you want to ensure that your loved ones do not suffer financially.

Policies are designed to pay out a lump sum or installments to your family to help them cope financially.
A joint policy will cover both you and your partner. However, it’s always worth checking out the premiums on two separate policies. For very little extra, you could effectively get double the cover.
If you’re not sure which cover is right for you, read our guide to policy types before you get a quote.

Why do I need life insurance?

Would your family be able to cope financially if the worst was to happen to you?
Life insurance could be used to cover funeral costs, mortgage repayments and household bills.
Polices can be paid out as a lump sum or installments, helping your family to budget for the foreseeable future.

How much cover do I need?
