Over 50s Life Insurance Plan
Knowing your loved ones could be provided for after you've gone is a comforting thought. Sainsbury's Over 50s Life Insurance Plan, provided by Legal & General, can help you plan for the future by paying out a small fixed cash lump sum on your death. The cash lump sum is paid if you die at least two years after starting the plan. If you die within the first two years, Legal & General will not pay the cash sum but instead the premiums will be returned. However, if you die as a result of an accident, the cash sum will be paid (subject to terms and conditions).
- Receive a £50 Sainsbury's voucher if you take out a policy online by 6th September 2010*
- No medical or health questions to answer when you apply
- Guaranteed acceptance if you're 50 to 80 years old and a UK resident
- Cover starts from just £5 a month
- You choose how much cover to have based on the rate table, (PDF 211KB) or choose from a number of set premiums to suit your gender and age
- Your premiums will never go up once you've taken out cover
- You stop paying premiums at 90, but your cover continues for the rest of your life.
Over 50s Life Insurance Plan - things you need to know, please ensure you read
- Depending on how long you live, you may pay in more than the cash lump sum paid out
