You don’t stop making plans for the future when you reach your 50s. Far from it! It's a time to make plans on how to spend your retirement, plans for hobbies and travel, and above all, plans for what would happen if you were no longer there.
For you and your family’s peace of mind, it’s important to prepare. Nothing shows your loved ones how much you care like leaving life insurance to cover funeral expenses and outstanding debts. And you’re never too young to get started...
How does British Seniors Over 50 Life Insurance work?
Our cover is designed for over 50s who want to provide a fixed lump sum for their loved ones to cover funeral expenses and other costs in the event of their death. Protection is guaranteed if you’re a UK resident aged 50-80. You could arrange your policy in next to no time...
Am I eligible?
If you’re aged between 50-80 and you’re a UK resident, you’re guaranteed acceptance. You can apply for a single policy, or a joint policy for you and your spouse/civil partner. In either case, you don’t have to go through health checks or answer medical questions. Just sign up and enjoy the peace of mind.
What's covered?
As soon as your policy is in place, you’re covered immediately in case of accidental death. Your family will receive twice your benefit amount should you die as a result of an accident. After 12 months, your cover extends to death by any other cause. This also includes worldwide cover – so you can enjoy peace of mind wherever you go.
