Over 50s Life Insurance Plan

Key benefits

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 we will not pay the cash sum but we will return all the premiums paid. However if you die as a result of an accident we will pay the cash sum (subject to terms and conditions).

  • Receive a £50 Sainsbury's voucher if you take out a policy online by 31st March 2010*
  • No medical or health questions to answer when you apply
  • Guaranteed acceptance if you're 50 to 74 years old and a UK resident
  • Cover starts from just £8 a month
  • You choose how much cover to have based on our rate table, (PDF 113KB) 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
  • Cover increases by 10% after five years with no increase in premiums
  • You stop paying premiums at 90, but your cover continues for the rest of your life.

Over 50s Life Insurance Plan - important 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
  • Lump sum cash payment if you die two years after your plan starts
  • Full refund of all premiums if you die from any cause except an accident within the first two years
  • Full lump sum cash payment if you die as a result of an accident within the first two years. Subject to terms and conditions.
  • If you stop paying premiums when they are due the plan will be cancelled and you won't get anything back. You should therefore choose an amount of premium you can afford now and in the future.
  • Inflation will, over time, reduce the value of the cash lump sum paid out
  • You can help make sure the cash lump sum reaches the people you would like it to by placing the plan in a trust
  • There is no cash-in value at any time.
