What is Level Term Assurance?
Level Term Life Insurance is a life insurance policy that maintains the same premiums and level of coverage for the course of the policy. Should the policyholder die, a tax-free lump sum is paid out to the beneficiaries.
This type of policy can ensure your family/loved ones are protected and can continue their standard of living in the event of your death.
Most life insurance policies now include terminal illness cover as standard and you also have the option to add critical illness insurance to the life policy.

How Does Level Term and Decreasing Life Insurance Work?
With Level Term Assurance, you can decide who will be insured on the policy. As the primary policyholder, you can select an individual policy, covering you or your partner, or a joint policy.
You also get to choose the amount of cover you wish to be insured for and how long you want the cover to last.
In the event of a claim eg the person covered on the policy passing away, the level of cover will pay out to their chosen beneficiary/loved ones.
We will also advise on and arrange for any policy we recommend to be placed in a suitable trust (if required), naming your chosen beneficiaries.
It’s important to remember that the amount of cover chosen won’t rise in value with inflation.
What are the Benefits of Level Term Assurance?
The main benefit of this type of policy is that it provides financial security in the form of a guaranteed fixed cash sum for a fixed period of time for the policyholder’s family in the event of their death. The Life Insurance payout can be used to pay off debts, mortgage, cover funeral costs or provide an income for the family for everyday living expenses. It can ensure your family can continue their lifestyle and standard of living, knowing that there will be a fixed lump sum payout if you pass away.

A Level Term Life Insurance policy provides a death benefit (fixed payment) that is guaranteed to remain level for the duration of the policy term. The death benefit is the amount of money that the policyholder’s beneficiaries/loved ones will receive upon the policyholder’s death. This is set at the start of the policy and we will be able to recommend a suitable level of cover based on your circumstances.
The term is the length of time that the policy will remain in effect and the policyholder will be covered for. The term will depend on the needs of you and family and how long you need to be covered for.
Unlike decreasing term life insurance which is usually recommended to cover the outstanding balance for a repayment mortgage, this insurance is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specific period of time, for example, 10, 20, or 30 years etc. The death benefit remains level for the duration of the policy, and monthly premiums are also level. This type of life cover is typically used to protect against the financial impact of a breadwinner’s death. Other types of life insurance include decreasing or increasing term life insurance and whole of life insurance. It is worth noting that this product is sometimes referred to as level term insurance and in some instances the cover can be used to protect an interest only mortgage plus the household bills and expenses.
In addition, the proceeds will be tax free, if placed in a suitable trust. Otherwise, it can form part of the deceased’s estate and depending on the size of the estate, there maybe inheritance tax to pay. There will also be no income tax or capital gains tax to pay.
