Life insurance can help protect your family from the financial uncertainty caused by your passing, paying out a cash sum if you should die within the timescale of the policy.
Life policies are probably the simplest type of policy to understand. This is because it is basically a contract between you and the insurance provider. In this situation, you are insuring yourself (or somebody you have an insurable interest in) for an amount of money to be paid by the insurer in the event of your (or somebody else’s) death – as long as it is during the length of the policy.
However, there are still different forms of life insurance available, with options to suit the needs of the policyholder. It is left up to you to decide the type that best suits your situation, how much you want and how long you would like it for.
We would be happy to advise you on the tax implications in the event the policy is paid out, as well as to discuss your particular circumstances and the benefits of placing life policies in trust.

This recently introduced policy is where you pay the premium until age 80, in most cases, and you are guaranteed a payout on death no matter when. More expensive but usually used as a funeral policy with small sums assured,
