What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a type of cover which pays out a lump sum or regular income to your dependants should you pass away during the term of the contract. The cost of a policy is determined by a number of factors including your age, health and lifestyle. Life insurance can help your partner, children or those you care for, pay for any financial commitments that might fall to them if you were no longer here.
