I am a single mum of four, I needed to hear this. I have just applied for life insurance online. Thank you.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Great stuff, Ellena!

[@amandabass04]

may I now what company or provider

[@ItaintmeCCC]

@@amandabass04 I am a insurance adviser I would recommend you try and go through a broker or an adviser. A common mistake people make when going through a price comparison website is that they might not have or get the right level of cover or it might not be suitable for their needs. Price comparison websites usually offer the cheapest quote first as the insurance companies pay the comparison sites to be at the top of the quote results. This tactic often leaves people buying the cheapest quote but the cheapest quote isn't always the best. If you need any help or advice I will be happy to help.

[@evilzzzability]

First, check if you employer provides any insurance cover for employees - many do as part of their standard employee package. Even though it may not be as comprehensive as an individual policy it's a good place to start.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Agree

[@JustFrugalMe]

I would encourage you to get life insurance if you have depends to cover living expenses for those that are left behind.

Thank you Ken for your good wishes. I watched the video again and there is one thing I didn’t quite understand. Once your term of 30 years over and you haven’t claimed, do u get back part what you have contributed? Sorry to be asking so many questions.

[@TheHumblePenny]

@@aiishaism hiya! Questions are welcome. Happy to answer them. So for Term life insurance, you ONLY get paid if you make a claim in the term of cover. So for a 30 year policy, it covers you for that time and if you have no need for a claim, it doesn't pay out. Hence why the amount you pay pay monthly is so small. Compare it to car insurance. When you pay annually, you never really hope to claim on it unless an accident happens. Same with Term Life Insurance. Whole Life Insurance is guaranteed to pay out but it's WAYYYYYY more expensive. Does that help?

[@johnnyosemwengie2122]

Hi Ken, brilliant video as usual. We have term life insurance but I never knew about putting it in a trust. I will probably call them (AIG) to see if it is in a trust or not and if it can be retrospectively done.

[@downwind_david]

I agree life insurance is definitely worth the money if you have family and dependents. I was wondering what you thought about other insurances (not sure if they're all available in the UK, but assuming they are). TPD (Total Permanent Disability) if you are injured to the extent that you are not able to work again and Income Protection for if you are off work due for a long period of time due to sickness or injury, which pays out 90% of salary until you are able to work again or reach 65, whichever is first. In Australia, all these insurances can be wrapped in our Superannuation (Pension) scheme. Our employers pay in the equivalent of 9.5% of salary into our pensions and we are able to top up from our pre-tax income up to $25,000 per year. The costs for these insurances then come out of these payments into your pension. Therefore, you're getting a great tax deduction on the insurance costs, however it does reduce the amount being invested over the long term for your pension. Thoughts?

[@Danny2k34]

My mother is thinking of getting life insurance after a medical scare, but she is 56 now and wondering if it's too late or what package to go for as I've seen many providers offer over 50 packages and curious if that's worth it because I read there is a point in which if you live longer, you could be paying in more than what is paid out so maybe the normal life insurance is better and ignore the over 50 package..

Thanks so much Ken for this video. This was very useful. I received unsolicited quote from a firm yesterday and was going to look into it. Been putting it off for a while now, but need to get on it for reasons u highlighted. Btw I assume that premiums have gone up substantially now due to COVID19?

[@TheHumblePenny]

You're welcome, Linda! 😊. I'd presume premiums on average will be higher. Saying that though, not many people have life insurance and not all cases are paid out. This is why it pays to get a quality provider

[@nammcq2730]

great video.... very informative and clear... thanks!

[@seuny]

What happens after the 30 year term can you renew? Please do a video on the critical illness or income protection cover.

[@ItaintmeCCC]

It depends if the policy came with the renewable option. If not you will have to take out a new policy in 30 years but the premiums will be much higher as you will be a lot older. There are policies with an option to renew it or convert it to a whole of life policy. I recommend you look through the terms and conditions of your policy or have an insurance adviser look through it with you,. This can usually be done free of charge.

[@seuny]

@@ItaintmeCCC I am being offered with my mortgage and it seems I can't find comparisons to match it or am not looking properly. You are right I probably need an insurance advisor. I have extended to 35 years on the critical illness cover which comes with life insurance I didn't ask for but thinking at that age will I still need the cover? Did not realise there is a whole life option. I went with the 2 year income protection with 60% of income payed out if unable to work but not critical not quiet sure what indexed means.Too many options I need a comprehensive guide.

[@AlexbatYudah]

Can you give me any information about Cash Value Whole life Insurance in the UK?

[@TheMrsgd]

Great video !👍🏾 is it possible to switch from term life insurance to whole life insurance if one has already taken out the former?

[@nickharper618]

This is possible with some insurers and not others, it is worthwhile asking an adviser to review your needs as it maybe better to continue with the term and supplement with another policy to pay the lump sum, rather than convert.

At the end of the term insurance, if you are still alive, then what?? Would you need to re insure yourself at presumably higher premium rates or do you get a payout & transfer to new policy?

[@TheHumblePenny]

No payout. Just a higher premium as you'll be older, etc.

Your needs have probably changed and the amount you will need will probably be less, there are specialist products like funeral cover etc. that you may then take on.

Is there a point getting it if I still don’t have a mortgage or kids? I am getting married in a year or so so will hopefully have both within the next couple of years. Thank you for the video! Very nicely presented!

[@temilustre7041]

Hi Omar, the reason you might want to consider it now rather than later is to ensure you are insurable and for affordability. Generally the older you are the more expensive your premiums become. Also there are ppl who are unable to get a life cover because of health conditions/pre existing health conditions. So it might be worth looking into it now since you’re looking to settle down soon. I hope this helps.

[@TheHumblePenny]

The younger you get it, the cheaper it is as it's a fixed monthly amount. If your life circumstances changes later, it will be much harder to get life insurance.

How does it help when getting a mortgage?

[@adampeacock2009]

I have a mortgage (I'm 32) with about 60k left on it. I don't have a wife or kids so technically feel it isn't necessary but at the same time I wonder if it's best to get it now whilst it's cheaper (given circumstances could change). My biggest conundrum other than this is whether to get a reduced term one so it pays out less over mortgage term, or not... Thoughts?

[@TheHumblePenny]

Hi Adam, Sorry I have only just seen your message. Personally, I'd say get one as early as possible because it is cheaper. £60k Mortgage is not a crazy amount. So whichever one you choose to get should not be driven mainly by your mortgage debt.

[@J1a9m8e3ss]

Great video first off. I have a term critical illness cover as it is cover for 40yrs when took it out back in 2015 it was £25pm and to date it’s at £30.50pm should this have gone up over the years as you said yours is £29 and will always be that. My question is is this increase normal or should I get in contact with aviva ? Many thanks

[@TheHumblePenny]

Contact them. Mine is life insurance though and it has never changed.

[@temilustre7041]

Hi, I'm a UK specialist insurance adviser. I work with Precise Protect. The reason your policy is increasing is that you opted for the increase option at the time you took out your policy. Such policies tend to start out cheaper but over time becomes unaffordable so I generally tell my clients not to opt for it. The appropriate option to have gone for is level or guaranteed, this way the sum assured and premium are fixed. The reason a person might opt for the increase option is to ensure the policy is worth the same value in x amount of years as it usually goes up in line with inflation. You will notice that your sum assured is much more at 30.50 than what it was at £25. I hope this helps.

[@mandylove9845]

@@TheHumblePenny At first I was with Aviva. It wasn’t a guaranteed payout. It was £14.33 for £100k insurance. Then I kept looking around to find a better offer and two months later I changed to Zurich which now costs me £15.35 for £250k insurance. Their terms and conditions say that they don’t pay out if you stop making payments towards the insurance or if you take your life within a year of the policy. Other than those two conditions - which are pretty straightforward... it is a guaranteed payout.

[@nickharper618]

I am slightly confused around the comment on life insurance companies excluding certain types of death? In my experience i have not seen this, they certainly cover suicide and if you used drugs or alcohol to commit suicide then it would be covered (not in the first 12 months as suicide is not covered in that period). Can you expand on where you have got this information as all the insurers that i have dealt with pay out on death (including suicide) and do not state that certain types of death are not covered in the policy. The insurers ask you about your drug and alcohol use when you take out a policy and may refuse to insure you. If you lied or did not disclose drug or alcohol use that was discovered after your death (perhaps in your medical history) then the insurer may not pay out due to this non-disclosure but that is a different thing to the way you died?

[@jmaxwell3277]

I don’t have any depends. Am I better off getting critical illness cover? ( not terminally ill cover) I only have a very small Mortgage left 60k

[@TheHumblePenny]

Potentially - However, critical illness is pretty expensive. Saying that, I saw that come in handy this year when my mum successfully made a claim on hers. So I don't it's just about which you're better off getting. It's all about what your expected need is. If you think it's more likely that critical illness might become a reality, then you should seriously consider it especially if there are no material pre-existing conditions. Personally, I like the idea of insurance. But I get involved after a careful assessment of cost vs benefit 😀
