What is Life Insurance?
It is an insurance policy that covers you and pays out a lump sum of cash should you die.
Why do I need Life Insurance?
Would your family and loved ones be able to cope financially without your income due to your death?
What about any debts or financial burdens you may leave behind such as your Mortgage, loans, credit agreements etc.
With a life insurance policy in place, your family / partner could pay off the mortgage and / or any other financial liabilities and even maintain a similar standard of living as before.
Some of your policy payment could even go towards covering the cost of your funeral.
What are the different types of Life Insurance available to me?
There are four main different life insurance policies:
Term life insurance
Whole life insurance
Mortgage life insurance
Critical illness insurance
Starting with Fixed Term Life Insurance which covers you for an agreed amount of years (term) and the value of your policy and premiums remains the same throughout the whole term of the policy.
Secondly, we have Mortgage Life Insurance which is a policy that decreases in value throughout its term roughly inline with a standard repayment mortgage, hence the name.
Thirdly we have Whole Life Insurance which insures the policy holder for the whole of their life and pays on the eventuality of death. You continue to pay premiums throughout your life and this is more of an investment insurance policy.
Lastly, we have Critical illness insurance which is usually an optional extra to add to your standard life insurance policy and this covers you should you die from or be diagnosed with any of the Critical illnesses outlined in your life insurance policy.
By combining your Life Insurance with Critical illness insurance and purchasing them at the same time from the same insurer can usually save you money on your premiums as opposed to purchasing them separately.
How much cover do I need?

It really does depend on your financial circumstances and what debts / burdens you would leave behind for others to pay. You also need to consider the quality of lifestyle those left behind would wish to continue with.
