Types of life insurance
Life insurance can be flexible so it will suit your needs or budget so that your family and home is properly protected. The two most common and well known types of life cover are Family Life Insurance (Level Term) or Mortgage Life Insurance (Decreasing Term). Here’s how they work:
Family life insurance
This is the most common type of life cover and is simply called ‘Level Term’ because the amount of cover always stays the same.
Your policy would always pay out a level lump sum if you die at any point during the policy term. This is ideal to protect your family if anything happens to you.
Mortgage life insurance
A mortgage life insurance policy is specifically designed to protect your mortgage balance throughout your mortgage term.
If you were to pass away during the term of the policy then your cover would pay out a lump sum equivalent to your mortgage balance in order to pay off what’s left over.
