WHOLE OF LIFE ASSURANCE

Whole of life assurance policy pays out a lump sum in the event of death, whenever it occurs.

The cost of the premium is higher than regular term assurance but it generally has a surrender value too. The premium may also include an investment element which helps you pay the cost of the cover over the period of time.

What is whole of life Assurance?

Whole-of-life insurance, also known as whole-of-life assurance, is a type of life assurance that protects you for the whole of your life rather than a specific period of time, such as 30 years. It means that as long as you pay your premiums, you will be covered under this policy no matter how long you live.

Some insurers require you to stop paying premiums after a certain age, and others require you to pay until you are alive.

How does whole of life assurance policy work?

Once you’ve chosen the policy, you’ll  pay a monthly  premium. With whole-of-life insurance your family is guaranteed to receive a pay out when you die. It gives you peace of mind that your loved one will have financial security no matter what. 

Unlike Term Life Insurance which has a policy end date, Whole-of-life insurance does not have an end date, it ends when you die. That is why the pay out is guaranteed.
