Life Insurance

Life Insurance

Life insurance provides crucial peace of mind. It guarantees that your loved ones will be financially secure if the unexpected happens. Losing a parent or partner is emotionally devastating, especially if they were the main income earner or faced significant medical expenses. A lump sum life insurance payout can cover mortgage payments, daily living costs, education fees, and more.

Why You Should Put Your Life Insurance Policy Into a Trust

In the UK, inheritance tax can reduce your life insurance payout by 40% on amounts exceeding £325,000. Placing your policy into a trust can protect your beneficiaries from this tax burden, ensuring they receive the full benefit.

Benefits of Life Insurance Trusts:

  • Avoid Inheritance Tax: Trusts legally separate your policy from your estate.
  • Faster Payouts: Trustees can release funds promptly without waiting for probate.
  • Protect Non-Married Partners: Ensure loved ones outside marriage or civil partnerships receive your benefits.
  • Control Beneficiaries: Specify exactly who gets the money and how it is distributed.

Our advisers will provide independent financial advice about how including a trust with your policy can maximize your family’s financial security.

Important Policy Exclusions and Limitations

Every insurance policy has terms and conditions. Here are some key exclusions to be aware of:

  • Life Cover: No payout for deaths due to undisclosed pre-existing medical conditions or suicide within the first policy year.
  • Accidental Death Cover: Does not cover deaths caused by mental or physical illnesses.
  • Interim Cover: Only one payment is made, and the cover ends immediately afterward.
  • Joint Life Cover: Pays out once on the death of the first insured person; the policy then ends.
  • No Cash Value: Policies do not accumulate cash value or surrender value.
