Over 50's Plans Explained
Do I need an Over 50s Life Insurance Plan?
As everyone gets into their 50s, more often than not, priorities start to change and there may be more reasons to need Over 50s life cover.
One of the main reasons people choose an Over 50’s Life Insurance Plan is to cover the cost of a funeral.
Many people are not aware that the average cost of a funeral can be as high as £5,899. With this in mind, it is essential to begin looking into Over 50s Life insurance to put your mind at rest in making sure that your loved ones won’t have to struggle with things such as funeral costs, should anything happen to you.
Many also consider leaving something behind for their families so that they can live comfortably but find it difficult to do so. Surprisingly, as many as 72% of people over 50 are not saving towards covering situations such as this.
This article will inform you about the key benefits of getting Over 50s cover with us at Quick Quote Protect and why it is worthwhile for you. Our plans can be very versatile and flexible, working the way you want it to and ensuring the peace of mind you need.
What are the Features & Benefits of an Over 50s Plan?
- There is no medical required with plans arranged by Quick Quote Protect. If you have found it difficult to get cover historically due to medical conditions then you can relax, as the process is easier and quicker for you. All we need is your basic contact and personal information.
- You are guaranteed to be accepted for our plans if you are a UK resident aged between 50 and 80, even without a time-consuming health check.
- A cash lump sum is guaranteed to be paid to your loved ones should you die accidentally within the first two years of your plan.
- Early pay-outs available with some policies if you fall seriously ill (speak to one of our Advisors for more info) or you are diagnosed with a terminal illness after 2 years. Your loved ones can receive a 100% pay-out to help pay for any medical expenses or costs that accrue whilst you are receiving treatment/care post-diagnosis.
- Your premiums will stop when you reach 90 years old but the cover will still remain in place.
How much does Over 50s life cover cost?
For many, saving a lump sum for an unknown date and planning for the long-term could be very difficult and depending on when you pass away, it might not be the figure you want it to be. The monthly premium for the Over 50s Life Insurance plan is usually a lot more affordable than people think and it can work for most budgets. With a range of premiums available, depending on your financial situation, we can help select the right level of cover for you and your budget.
How does Over 50s Life Insurance differ from our other policies?
Over 50s cover has been developed around the concept of Whole of Life policies, but it is targeted specifically towards those aged between 50 and 90.
Another type of plan we have available is a Term Life Insurance policy, which has a start and an end date. With a Term Life Insurance Policy, you get protection between these dates and then once the period is over, you don’t receive anything. This is usually to ensure that mortgages are paid off or your family is looked after should anything happen to you.
Our Over 50s policy is different to the Term Life plan in that as long as you keep up with your monthly payments, if and when you die, your loved ones will receive a lump sum. This could then be used to ensure you have the send-off you deserve, to help pay towards any remaining debts or even just to provide a legacy for your family once you’re no longer here.
