How over 50 life insurance works

In return for a monthly payment over 50 life insurance pays out a cash lump sum to your loved ones when you die. It's important to remember that inflation will reduce what your cash sum will buy in the future, so take this into account when you're choosing how much cover you need.

 If you die... We pay... 
In the first 2 years of the plan 150% of the premiums you've paid up to the date of your death
Solely because of an accident in the first 2 years Three times the level of cover you've chosen (to a maximum of £32,000) 
After the first 2 years of the plan The level of cover chosen

Depending on how long you pay premiums for, it's possible that what you pay in may be more than would be paid out when you die. The over 50 life cover plan pays out only on death and has no cash in value at any time. All of premiums paid are used for life cover and expenses.

What happens if I stop paying my premiums? 

On your 90th birthday your monthly premiums will automatically stop but your cover will continue for life.

If you stop paying your premiums before the age of 90 your plan will stop, the cover will cease and you won't get anything back.
