Life insurance (sometimes called life assurance) is designed to pay out a sum of money when you die during the term of your policy.
You can be insured as an individual, or jointly with another person.
There are two initial decisions to make when taking out life cover:
- Do you wish to continue your policy until the day you die (known as ‘whole of life cover’), or only cover you in the event of your death for a fixed period, such as the term of your mortgage (known as ‘term cover’)?
- If you opt for term cover, do you require a fixed insurance sum – e.g. £200,000 – or are you happy with the sum decreasing over time (so you are only covering the outstanding amount on a repayment mortgage or loan, for example)? If you require a fixed sum, this is known as ‘level term cover’; if you opt for a reducing sum, this is known as ‘decreasing term cover’.
The Zurich quick quote form will ask you how much cover you need and on what basis. Opting for whole of life cover provides the additional security, but can be more expensive than term cover. Likewise, level term cover could cost more than decreasing term cover.
You should weigh the potential benefits against the cost of cover to find a plan that best meets your needs.
-
Life insurance isn’t necessary for everybody, but can provide invaluable financial protection for those who might need it.
The simple question to answer is whether you have anybody who depends on your income. If you do, then life insurance is likely to be beneficial to you. Equally, though, you should consider if other investments – including pensions – might be able to provide for a partner or other dependent’s should you no longer be here to provide for them.
-
Life insurance pays out in the event of your death, whereas critical illness cover pays out when you are diagnosed with an illness or condition specified in your insurance policy. The policy available through Bollington with Zurich covers 85 different conditions.
Critical illness cover can be included alongside your life insurance policy.
Life insurance from Zurich also provides a cash sum if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness at any time.

Everyone’s circumstances are different, so you need to think about the different financial obligations your dependents would have if you were not around to provide for them.

Again, this will depend on your circumstances, but in the majority of cases it will be possible to obtain cover. in 2016, 92% of people who applied with a medical condition could still get cover with Zurich. The most important thing is to be honest when requesting a quote – if there is a pre-existing medical condition that you know about and you don’t declare it, then you don’t want to be in a position where life or critical illness cover is unlikely to pay out.
