Life is unpredictable, filled with beautiful moments and unexpected challenges. While we can’t control everything, we can take proactive steps to protect what matters most. That’s where life insurance comes in. It’s not just about financial planning; it’s about ensuring that your loved ones are cared for, no matter what life throws their way.
Life is precious but fragile. We all know that it can change in an instant. While we can’t prepare our loved ones for the emotional pain of losing us, we can ease their financial burden. A tailored life insurance policy offers a solution—a promise that even in your absence, your family will have the support they need to move forward.
Imagine knowing that your family will be taken care of, that they won’t have to worry about funeral expenses or outstanding debts. That’s the peace of mind that life insurance provides.
At UK Life Insurance, we understand that no two individuals are alike. That’s why we offer a range of life insurance plans tailored to your unique needs.
From level term insurance, which provides a fixed payout regardless of when you pass away, to decreasing term insurance, which aligns with diminishing mortgage repayments, we have options to suit every situation.
But it’s not just about finding the right policy; it’s about building a plan that fits your life. Do you need coverage for critical illness or loss of income? Are you looking for a policy with a specific duration or payout age? Our advisors are here to help you navigate these decisions and find the perfect solution for you and your family.

Make sure you read the policy terms and wording to see if changes to your cover can be easily made.
The length of your life insurance policy is an important decision and is often unique depending on your situation and your family’s circumstances. It might be that you want your policy to cover the length of your mortgage or how long you think your children will be financially dependent on you. Make sure you think carefully before deciding on the length of your policy.
Whether you have to attend a medical for a life insurance policy depends on a number of factors. These can include your age, cover amount, and if you have any pre-existing health conditions. You will likely be asked to attend a medical assessment from a doctor or nurse if you ask for a large amount of cover. The vast majority of claimants, however, are not asked for a medical.

A life insurance payout is free of income tax or capital gains tax. However, you may have to pay inheritance tax unless your policy is in a trust.
Putting your life insurance policy in a trust can have several benefits. Your claim could be processed quicker, and it can also help keep your payout outside of Inheritance Tax. Make sure that you speak to a financial adviser before you put your policy in a trust. And remember that tax rules and regulations could change in the future.
