What is Over 50s Life Insurance?

An Over 50s Life Insurance policy is a quick and simple way to make sure your loved ones have a guaranteed fixed payout when you die.

Because it’s a non-medical plan, you don’t have to answer any medical questions; making this policy suitable for those who may have been unsuccessful in applying before.

You choose the price and the cost will never rise as long as you maintain the monthly payments. The payout can be used to contribute towards:

  • Funeral costs
  • Outstanding bills
  • Leave a gift to your loved ones
  • Financial care for your pets

How much does Over 50s Life Insurance cost?

This is entirely up to you and is determined on your own personal circumstances.

With Over 50s Life Insurance, the amount of cover you receive is based on your age at the time of taking the policy, your smoking status, and how much you choose to pay each month.

An Over 50s policy will ignore your medical history, but unfortunately that does mean you’ll be paying more for your premiums because you’re seen as more of a risk by the insurer.

You can choose how much you want to pay per month. The more you’re willing to pay in monthly premiums, the larger the lump sum will be for your family.

You probably have some questions

Check out some of our most Frequently Asked Questions about Over 50s Life Insurance below

Do you ask any medical questions?

No, we won’t ask you for any medical details, for access to your medical records, or require you to take a medical exam.

It’s a non-medical plan, meaning you don’t have to give any information about your health, making this policy suitable for those who may have been unsuccessful in applying before. However, we will ask you about your smoking status.

Am I eligible for an Over 50s Life Insurance policy?

Acceptance is guaranteed for any permanent UK resident between the ages of 50 and 80 years old.

What should I know before taking out a policy?
  • You won’t have to pay for your cover once you reach age 90 but your cover will continue for life.
  • If you stop paying premiums before age 90, the cover will cease, and you won’t be entitled to claim any money back.
  • The cash lump sum distributed upon death normally counts as part of your estate and so may be subject to inheritance tax.
  • You could pay out more money in premiums than the policy pays out.
  • Over 50s Life Cover is not a savings plan and has no cash-in value.
  • Funeral Funding, provided through Golden Charter, is not a funeral plan, so it may not cover the full cost of your funeral. If you are considering a direct-to-cremation funeral please note that the £300 contribution will not apply.
  • Due to inflation, any amount paid out may not buy as much in the future as it would now.
Can I have a joint Over 50s plan?

Whilst we don’t offer joint Over 50s policies, your partner can also take out their own policy in their name if they wish to. If both you and your partner take a policy through Protect Line we’ll send you a £40 shopping voucher. Read more about Referring a Friend here.
