Over 50s life insurance.
A cash sum towards funeral costs When you've spent all your life taking care of your family, the last thing you want is to leave them with financial worries. Have you thought about how your loved ones will pay for your funeral?
Legal and General's Over 50s Fixed Life Insurance Plan can help ease the financial burden on your loved ones at a very difficult time, by providing a cash sum towards funeral costs, outstanding bills or other debts. It's important to consider that the cash sum provided by the plan is fixed so its value may be reduced by inflation.
Aged 50 to 80 guaranteed acceptance As long as you are aged between 50 to 80 and a UK resident, your acceptance is guaranteed. There's no need for a medical and no time consuming health assessment when you apply.
Cover for life Our plan provides cover for the whole of your life. If you die within the first two years o f starting your plan we will not pay the cash sum, but we will return all the premiums paid. However, if you die as a result of an accident (exclusions and limitations apply), then the full cash sum will be paid instead. Depending on how long you live, the total premiums paid may be greater than the cash sum payable when you die.
