At Central Mortgages we offer a range of insurance policies, including life assurance. What is the difference however, between life insurance and life assurance?
Life insurance is designed to pay out a tax-free lump sum of money to those listed in the policy in the event of your death. The cover is arranged either on a level basis where the payout remains the same throughout the policy period, or on a decreasing basis, whereby the level of cover reduces over time. This type of cover is usually taken out alongside a repayment mortgage.
Life assurance on the other hand is typically a cover for your entire life, and is often marketed as ‘whole of life’ cover as a result. Some life assurance products are linked to investments, meaning that the payout received on death depends on the performance of those investments.
Both types of cover provide incredible peace of mind that your loved ones will receive a lump sum payout in the event of your death. This ensures that the mortgage and bills can be covered at a time where anguish and upset are the primary concerns. The major benefit of taking out life assurance cover as opposed to life insurance is that you are fully covered for your entire life, not just for a fixed period of time.
