There are lots of different types of Life Insurance in York, so it’s important that you take out the right type that suits your personal circumstances. You will find information on this page to help you choose the right insurance policy, or alternatively, you can book a free insurance review and speak 1-1 with an Insurance Specialist in York.
It’s not always about the policy type, it’s the terms that come with the policy. You have to consider how much it can pay out, how long the cover lasts for and who you are taking it out with.
When you have Life Insurance in York, in the event of your death, a lump sum of money is released and passed onto the family member or friend that’s been named on the policy.
In the event of a claim, Life Insurance in York can either pay out the whole lump sum at once or through regular payments. The person who took out the cover decides how the money is released after the claim. The amount that is paid out depends on the cover that you took out.
Life Insurance was introduced to provide financial support for family members, replace lost income or pay off any outstanding debts owed in the person’s name, e.g. a mortgage.
Upon taking out a Life Insurance policy, you can choose exactly what your payout is used on. You can drill it down to specifics, for example, you may only want the money to be used on debts such as a mortgage or car loans etc. You choose can choose how your plan works.
To give you an understanding of the different types of life insurance out there, we listed several policies that we encounter, as a Mortgage Broker in York, people regularly take out:
This particular type of insurance will payout a lump sum or regular monthly payments, but the sum assured will only be covered for a fixed ‘term’ period. We tend to find the duration of the term usually ranges between 5-25 years in 5-year increments.
This policy can coincide to cover mortgage payments and people usually match the life insurance term with their mortgage term, so if you were to pass away and still need to pay the remaining balance off your mortgage, the policy will payout. This means anyone attached to the mortgage will not financially struggle.
During our years of being a Mortgage Broker in York, we find that Decreasing Term Life Insurance is one of the most popular choices.
The benefit of taking out this policy is that it’s aimed toward homeowners with repayment mortgages. We tend to find people take out this type of policy to help pay off the outstanding mortgage balance.
The policy mirrors the unpaid balance remaining on your mortgage. As the balance of your mortgage decreases the sum insured follows in line.
This policy is similar to a level term policy as in you choose a fixed period to have the sum assured. However, instead of the sum assured remaining constant throughout the policy term. The sum assured will increase, this is designed to shield the policy’s total value against inflation and is usually in line with the retail price index.
Although this policy might be better suited for your circumstances we tend to this it is a less popular choice than the fixed term policies. As the name of the policy suggests, it covers you for the whole of your life.
As the policy is guaranteed to payout in the event you die, whenever that may be. This is reflected in the cost of the insurance and is usually much more expensive than a fixed term.
If you are married or in a relationship, we recommend looking into Joint Life Insurance, as you both will be protected in the event of one of your passing. You may still have the ability to have two separate Life Insurance policies if you prefer this. However, this choice is often cheaper than both of you taking policies out individually.
The policy ends when one person dies. This could be seen as a negative with this policy, nevertheless, if taking out the policy was so you can pay off your mortgage, you would still be able to do this with the money as this will be released after the death of one of the policyholders.
Your employer might offer you this policy, although it won’t be the case for all workplaces as they don’t have to but some get life insurance as part of an employee benefits package.
In the lump sum can be up to 5 times your annual salary. Again, there isn’t any specification on what this money is used for. Please be aware that one factor of this policy is that the payout has nothing to do with if an employee died in the workplace.
