Life insurance is a contract you enter into with a Life Insurer. In the event of a valid claim, your insurer promises to pay out a pre-determined amount of money (details included in your policy document) to your nominated beneficiaries when you pass away. You hold up your end of the bargain by paying the insurer a monthly premium in exchange for the cover they’ve granted you.
The simple answer to that question is can we ask you another question?
If you passed away today, are there people in your life that are going to suffer financially? Only you know the answer to that question, and if it’s a YES, make sure you get in touch with us today.
Anyone between the age of 18 and 65 is eligible to apply for Life Insurance, but the offer of cover will be based on a medical and lifestyle risk assessment.
It depends on a few things, some examples are as follows:
We always suggest that you start with our online calculator. It takes the guesswork out of things, and that way you only end up paying for the cover you really need.
A beneficiary is a person (or persons) you’ve nominated in your contract (policy document) to receive the proceeds of your life insurance payout when you pass away.
You can pick anyone you like as a beneficiary.
In fact, you could nominate several beneficiaries on your policy and split the proceeds of your payout up evenly.
If you’re married, you would generally leave the proceeds of your policy to your partner so they can sort out the family’s financial affairs. Just something to consider: if you don’t nominate a beneficiary, the proceeds of your life insurance will be paid into your estate.
You need to get in touch with us immediately. We don’t want your policy to lapse because that will mean that your cover is forfeited.
Premiums are calculated using several factors to determine your risk profile namely-age, gender, health and lifestyle.
