How to Buy Life Insurance

Life insurance is a great way to help protect your family – and it may be easier and cheaper than you think. Remember these four tips when deciding which life insurance plan to buy.

1. Decide how much life insurance cover to buy

It’s important to choose the right level of life insurance cover for you and your family. This means thinking about your budget and how much you’re willing to pay in life insurance premiums. Also consider your family’s financial situation – if you were to pass away, how much life insurance would they need to cover debts and manage ongoing household expenses, and for how long?

2. Ask about life insurance discounts

While many life insurance providers offer the option to pay your life insurance premiums weekly or monthly, it’s often cheaper to pay life insurance premiums annually. So ask your life insurance provider if any discount applies when you choose annual life insurance premium payments.

Some life insurance providers also offer discounts if your partner takes out life insurance as well.

 

3. Keep paying your premiums

As long as you keep paying your life insurance premiums, your life insurance cover will continue until you reach a certain age. Some expire when you turn 80 as by then your liabilities are likely to be minimal.

 

4. Understand the exclusions on your life insurance policy

With any insurance, it’s important to be aware of exclusions on your life insurance policy before you buy. For example, your life insurance may not cover suicide or intentional self-injury at all, or for a specified time.
