Important information
Here's what you need to know about life insurance, so you have the full picture
- Available to UK residents aged 17 to 84.
- You can choose the length to run between 5-50 years, but the policy must end before your 90th birthday.
- If you die, we'll normally pay the lump sum to your estate. Inheritance tax could apply to the part that's worth over £325,000 (tax years 2023/24 to 2027/28).
- We won’t pay a claim if you die as a result of intentionally taking your own life within the first 12 months of your policy.
- If you stop paying your premiums, you won't get any money back and your cover may stop.
- As part of your life insurance application, we may need to contact your doctor for a medical report.
You don’t have to give your consent to us obtaining a medical report if we need to, but you won’t be able to complete the online application without agreeing to this. It’s still your responsibility to answer all the questions accurately and honestly in your application. If you don’t, we might not pay a claim and could cancel your policy.
- Increase options are available after marriage/civil partnership, divorce, the birth of a child or mortgage increase. Sometimes we won't be able to offer you increase options, subject to guidelines within your policy conditions.
