Level Term Life InsuranceStraightforward Constant Cover over a Set Time Frame

Level Term Life Insurance means that the life cover you would receive remains constant throughout the length of the policy term. The pricing of your policy is set on the basis that you would receive a full payout if you should die at any point during the policy term. The 'sum assured' or the amount that you would receive as a payout in the event of your death during the policy term would remain unchanged throughout. The amount that you would pay each month towards the policy, known as the premium, would also remain unchanged. People usually choose Level Term Life Insurance when they want to ensure that if they should die unexpectedly, they would be able to continue providing for their partner or family. More info

Important Tips for Buying Life Insurance

  • Life 'Insurance' is different from Life 'Assurance' because it is not a certainty.  You would insure yourself against something unexpected happening, but would take out Assurance to minimise your financial exposure to something inevitable.

  • If you take out any type of 'Term' insurance product, this means that you are choosing a set period of time when your cover will be active.  Beyond this period, your cover is no longer valid.

  • The policy will be cheaper the less 'risky' you are to an insurer.  If you smoke, are in poor health or enjoy high-risk sports, statistically you are more likely to die, and therefore the cost of your premium will be higher.

  • Joint policies for couples should be approached with a certain amount of caution.  The average joint policy pays out only after the first person dies, but for a relatively small amount more you could get separate policies with two payouts, which would have a greater benefit for your family (especially when you consider the expense of inheritance tax).
