Over 50s Life Insurance

  • The policy can only cover you (single person) and you can choose how much cover you need, or how much you wish to pay on a monthly basis.
  • There’ll be no medical or health questions, and your cover will start as soon as we’ve processed your application.
  • You can take out more than one policy, as long as your monthly premiums across all of your Aviva Over 50s Life Insurance policies taken out with Santander, are not more than £100 in total.
  • If you die in the first year as the result of an accident, the policy will pay out the lump sum. If you die from any other cause in the first year, the policy will pay out an amount equal to the premiums paid. If you die after the first year the policy will pay out the guaranteed lump sum.
  • The cover remains in place until death.

Things to consider

 

  • If you don't pay your premiums during the premium term, your policy and your cover will end 60 days after your last payment was due and you won't get any money back.
  • The lump sum paid is fixed, so inflation will reduce what it can buy in the future. You should review your cover to ensure that it remains adequate over time.
  • Depending on how long you have the policy for, the amount paid out on your death may be less than the total amount you've paid in premiums.

Using a trust could prove tax-efficient

You can put your life insurance policy in trust. Doing this will:

  • allow the proceeds to be paid to the intended beneficiaries
  • minimise delays that might cause financial difficulties
  • make sure the proceeds do not form part of the estate for inheritance tax purposes.

If you're unsure on whether you should put your policy in trust you should seek specialist legal advice. Tax rules may change in the future.
