Level Term Assurance
Guide
What is this type of policy for?
In most cases level term assurance covers the life of those insured on the
policy for a defined number of years. If during the period of insurance a
policyholder dies, a lump sum is paid out which is normally specified at
the time of purchase. The main purpose of level term assurance is to cover
the mortgage or provide protection to family dependents in the event of unexpected
death of the life covered through illness or injury. It is important to remember that level term
assurance does not pay out a lump sum at the end of the insurance policy. Also, term
Assurance does not provide a surrender value should you wish to cancel the
policy during the period of cover.
Since the product was introduced, many life insurance companies have
sought to enhance the product in various ways. Examples of this include
decreasing term assurance policies. The idea behind this product variant
is to provide decreasing death benefit in line with capital reductions
on a repayment mortgage. Therefore, if the half of the mortgage is
paid off, life cover is also halved.
Other types of level term assurance include critical illness insurance
for an additional premium. The market for this type of product is very
competitive with increasing numbers of life insurance companies prepared
to offer online quotes, therefore, consider shopping around for the
best quotation.
