Should I buy over 50s Life Insurance?

Over 50 life insurance is a type of life cover for anyone over the age of 50. An over 50s policy does not require you to fill out medical questions or provide a medical history, unlike standard life insurance cover. The cash lump-sum is paid to loved ones and can be spent; however, they wish, providing the policy has been in force for typically over two years. The over 50s life insurance payout is often used to help cover funeral costs or pay off a mortgage and a great way of helping to protect your loved ones from unexpected expenses.

To ensure your life’s covered, you will be required to pay a monthly premium for the insurance policy term continually. When you pass away, a lump-sum will be paid out, and this is called ‘the payout’ or ‘the sum assured’.

How does over 50s Life Insurance work?

Guaranteed acceptance

Over 50s life insurance doesn’t require you to answer any health or medical questions. You are guaranteed to be accepted. Other life insurance types might ask you to complete a lifestyle questionnaire, and potentially a medical exam before the insurer will cover you.

Fixed monthly premiums

With the majority of Over 50s life insurance plans, the premiums are fixed. ‘Fixed premiums’ means they never go up. If you take out an insurance policy today for £10 a month, that is the amount you will continue to pay throughout the agreement. There is no cash-value attributed to an Over 50s life insurance plan, meaning, if you stop paying the premiums, you will no longer be covered and will not receive a payout should anything happen to you.

Fixed lump sum

Over 50s life insurance plans pay out a cash lump sum when you die, no matter how long you live and that the policy is still in force and you’ve continued to pay the premiums. You choose the value of the fixed cash lump sum you would like to be delivered to your loved ones when you take out the plan. Because the payout never changes, you know exactly how much your loved ones will receive. Your lump-sum payout may be less than the total value of the premiums you have paid, a life insurance policy should not be treated as a savings plan.

Your age

As the name suggests, to take out Over 50s life insurance, you usually have to be aged 50 or over. There is also normally a maximum age you can take out life insurance but, this is dependent on the insurance provider. Most stop offering cover once you reach 80 years old.
