This makes sense, because a large percentage of people over 50 would have already paid off some of the big debts in life, such as a mortgage and having young children, so there shouldn&#8217;t be too many costs for your family to be burdened with. The issue is, some life insurance policies for seniors tend to be more expensive when compared to a standard life insurance policy. This is largely down to statistics; you&#8217;re far more likely to encounter life threatening illnesses or pass away once you&#8217;re over 50.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_am_I_covered_on_an_over_50s_policy\"><\/span>How long am I covered on an over 50s policy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Usually, the term will be for people aged between 50-75 years, however some providers do provide cover up to 80-85. You do have to also consider that, depending on the provider you chose, you may not be fully covered for the first 1-2 years. This is known as a qualification period. If you die during this time, your family would receive the premiums you&#8217;ve already paid but not the full lump sum. Some insurers may also include an additional percentage of payout.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-271 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/couple-book-300x192.png\" alt=\"Compare over 50s life insurance plans\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/couple-book-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/couple-book.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_an_over_50s_life_insurance_policy_cost\"><\/span>How much does an over 50s life insurance policy cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Insurers can be quite flexible with pricing. To make this form of life insurance affordable and viable, you can choose how much you want to pay per month. This will then dictate the lump sum that will be available. The more you&#8217;re willing to pay in monthly premiums, the larger the lump sum will be for your family. If you&#8217;re a smoker, usually the monthly cost will be greater.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_an_over_50s_policy\"><\/span>What are the benefits of an over 50s policy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about choosing this form of life insurance for seniors is that these policies offer guaranteed acceptance. This means that you won&#8217;t have the frustrating back and forth trying to sort out medical checks and forms with the insurer and your doctor. Another great benefit is that once you reach 90 years of age, your premium payments will stop and your cover becomes guaranteed for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Another great benefit of these policies is that you&#8217;re covered immediately for accidental death. Some insurers will pay out 3 times the agreed policy amount should accidental death occur &#8211; so if you&#8217;ve chosen to receive \u00a312,000 and your death is accidental, they&#8217;ll pay out \u00a336,000.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_alternatives\"><\/span>Are there any alternatives?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So you basically have three choices when it comes to insurance if you&#8217;re over 50: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/life-insurance\/level-term\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">level term life insurance<\/a> policy, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/life-insurance\/whole-of-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">whole of life<\/a> policy or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/life-insurance\/over-50s\/\">over 50 policy<\/a>.

I have worked for Protect Line since 2011 in many different positions. I have a passion for protection and I love helping ensure as a business we talk in plain English. In my opinion, financial protection should be a part of our schools curriculum. Currently it's down to the private sector to help provide unbiased factual information. My aim is to help share the benefits of using a non-advised brokerage to secure financial protection for your family.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/-chris-reed\/"],"jobTitle":"Head of Business Development","worksFor":"Protect Line","url":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/author\/chris-reed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":349,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.protectline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
