How Over 60 Life Insurance can help protect your family

It’s a common misconception that finding reasonably priced life insurance is near impossible once you reach 60. The truth is, as we grow older, we’re more susceptible to health conditions associated with old age, which means that life insurance can be more expensive the older we get. While a standard life insurance policy might not be a suitable option if you’re in your retirement years, we offer a range of plans specifically designed to help meet the needs of anyone aged 50 to 80. If you’re aged 60+, you’re guaranteed acceptance with British Seniors Over 50 Life Insurance.


Whether you’re concerned about securing life insurance with existing health conditions or you need a short-term solution to protect your loved ones, you could still consider life insurance at 60 and beyond. In fact, our policies are designed with you in mind. It’s easy to leave behind a lump sum to help your family cover the cost of your funeral or other expenses.

Why take out Over 60 Life Insurance?

A life insurance benefit is commonly used to help with funeral costs. That being said, it could be used for any number of things. Maybe you would like to help pay outstanding bills or leave a small nest egg for your loved ones?

  • To help with the cost of your funeral
  • To leave behind money for end-of-life expenses
  • To leave a cash gift for your loved ones
  • To substitute death in service when entering your retirement years

How much does Life Insurance cost?

The monthly cost of your life insurance will depend on several factors, from your choice of protection to your age. The amount you pay will never increase unless you choose to add the Increasing Benefit Option to help protect your policy from the effects of inflation. With British Seniors there’s no need to break the bank, it’s possible to get Over 50 Life Insurance from as little as £4.32 a month depending on your age.1

Here’s what could affect the cost of your monthly premiums:

  • Your age at the time of applying
  • Your smoker status
  • How much cover you need
  • Whether it’s a single or joint policy
  • Whether you choose a level or increasing policy

How much cover do I need?

When it comes to choosing a level of cover, it’s not so much about what life insurance can do for you, but what it can do for your loved ones. As you reach your sixties, it’s natural to begin thinking about what you will be leaving behind for the people you love. Securing life insurance in your sixties could help protect your loved ones from inherited debt or unmanageable end-of-life expenses.


As you get older, you might need cover while living with poor health, some financial support for your family when it comes to planning your funeral, or a large sum of money to help them cover debts. Whatever your needs, British Seniors may have just the right solution. We offer a range of options for those aged 60 and over. You can also learn more about what Life Insurance could do for you in our helpful guide.


Bear in mind, you need to consider your ability to keep up with your monthly premiums now and in the future. If you’re unsure of how much cover you need, our friendly UK based team are on hand to help you choose the right level of cover for you.
