Term Assurance, ADH Mortgages

Term Assurance A Term assurance plan is the most basic form of life insurance and is usually the cheapest way to insure your life. It covers you for a fixed period and pays out a one off lump sum if you die during the policy term. There is also the option, usually cheaper, to choose the benefit as an income for your family rather than a lump sum. The income would run for the duration of the policy in the event of a successful claim. With some term insurance policies you can add additional options, for instance critical illness cover.

With term assurance, you choose the amount you want to be insured for and the period for which you want cover. If you die within the term, the policy pays out to your beneficiaries.

There are two main types of term assurance to consider – ‘level-term’ and ‘decreasing-term’ insurance. Level-term life insurance policies A level-term policy pays out a lump sum if you die within...

Term Assurance Term assurance pays out a lump sum should you die within the term of the policy. It is the simplest form of life insurance and normally the cheapest option to provide the level of cover you require. Term assurance doesn't contain any investment element, it simply promises to pay out if you die within the term. If you don't die within that time, you receive nothing. Because the term is limited the life company who insure you are betting that you (or most of their millions of customers) won’t die during the term hence the cover can be offered at a very low rate.
