| Life Insurance Caring for your familyLife Insurance Life insurance is required for the following purposes: - To cover a debt such as a mortgage; - To provide for your dependents in the event of your death.
If the proceeds of a life insurance policy are paid into the deceased estate, they could become subject to death duties if they were reintroduced. To ensure that money is not paid to the deceased's estate it is often best for the policy to be owned by a spouse, or perhaps a family trust, if you have one.
Term Insurance: Use this to cover life insurance needs when you may only need cover for a limited period such as the next 10 years while your children are young and dependent, or to cover debt such as a mortgage.
Whole of Life Insurance: This is a combination of term insurance and investment. Premiums do not increase with age unless the sum insured increases. Premiums are higher than straight term insurance initially but over 10 years the total premiums paid is lower than holding term insurance.
