Term Life Insurance is often used to cover mortgage payments. This policy is often a popular choice for those looking for a particular insurance to take out during their mortgage term.

You may be questioning “why would you want to take out a policy that decreases in value?”. You see, this policy targets homeowners with repayment mortgages. This policy is usually taken out to pay off the outstanding mortgage balance should you pass.

The policy’s value mirrors the unpaid balance remaining on your mortgage. As the amount owed on your mortgage decreases, so does the sum insured.

Decreasing Life Insurance is typically taken out alongside other Insurance products depending on current circumstances. Speaking to a Mortgage & Protection Specialist in Liverpool, we can help recommend you the most suitable insurance for your needs.

How the policy works is that if one person passes, the policy pays out, and then ends.

Death in Service Life Insurance cover may be an option depending on if you have been offered it by your current place of employment. Your company is not bound to provide Death in Service cover. But we tend to see some do as part of their employee benefits schemes.

Death in Service is paid in a lump sum of cash paid out to an employee’s family or a person of their choice when the policyholder passes. This sum can be up to 5 times their annual salary. There are no specific limitations on what can be done with the employee’s money.
