WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE

You may also find that life insurance is referred to as life cover or life assurance and really these are all different terms that mean the same thing.

Life insurance or assurance is a financial protection for your dependents in the event of your untimely death.

You would pay premiums to the company each month and in return for being covered for the ‘sum assured’ which is the amount that will be paid out on death.

The cost of life insurance/assurance will vary on :

1. The size of the sum assured

2. Your age and occupation

3. Gender and whether you smoke and also the term of the policy.

The application form that you need to complete will also ask certain medical questions. Pre existing medical conditions can affect the price you need to pay and insurers can refuse to insure you if you are deemed to be too high a risk.

DO YOU NEED LIFE INSURANCE

Basically, if you have dependents or a mortgage then the answer would be YES

Just take time to consider what would happen if you were to die today? Would your family be able to cope financially if you have insufficient life cover or no cover at all.

The only people who do not need life cover may be people who have no dependents at all. However, some mortgage lenders will insist that you insure yourself even if you have no dependents.

Take time to think about the situation. It is amazing to think that recent research suggests that 70% of the population do not have any life cover at all.
