Over 50 life insurance policies ensure that some money is paid out on a regular basis to your beneficiaries should you die within a certain period of time after your induction. It can give you peace of mind so that they can: Pay off your bills. Pay off your mortgage or rent. Pay your debt.

You will often find that an over 50s life cover policy will be more expensive than one taken out at a younger age and that there will be a number of other stipulations included in the contract. For example, it will usually be a lump sum, which needs to be invested each month. The total cost of the policy can rise each year as the lump sum grows. Your budget can also affect the level of investment. If your life cover is relatively inexpensive at present but you want to make sure you get the best value for money later on, it may be worth taking out a policy with higher premiums. However, bear in mind that the level of security will be less if you have dependents.

If you are retired or have a partner who is still working then you could lose out if you pass away before a certain time limit. Your life insurance could stop paying altogether. Although you would lose out on any premiums you paid, you would not lose out on the guaranteed income. There are other types of insurance that are far more flexible.

If you are aged between one year and fifty then you are eligible for guaranteed acceptance life insurance. You will receive a lump sum at the time of your appointment and this money can either be used immediately or paid into a special fund. The fund can be accessed for a specified period of time either during the week which your annuity stops or for an agreed number of years. There are no restrictions as to how your money can be spent once you become a qualified holder of guaranteed acceptance life insurance.

The level of security provided by life insurance policies depends upon the level of risk you are considered to be. There are various levels and you will be required to pay more if you are considered to be a higher risk than others. If you are over the age of fifty then you are considered to be higher risk than younger people and will therefore need more cover. There are different types of guarantees available such as whole of life, term life cover and universal life cover so if you are looking for life insurance that meets your needs you should consider all the options.

You should compare different guaranteed acceptance policies before choosing one that best meets your needs. You should also consider the level of flexibility you would like in a policy. Some insurers will allow you to adjust the payout amount and how much interest is taken out of your monthly premium. This is based on a few factors which include the birth date, your occupation and your family circumstances. You will also need to know how much your debts are before choosing the guaranteed acceptance rate. If you start out with debts at a low level but have them build up very quickly then you could end up paying out more in lump sum premiums than you would on a policy that provides a higher initial payout rate.​
If you want peace of mind even when you are older and cannot provide any monetary support to your loved ones then an over the counter or universal policy could be the answer. These policies do not restrict the amount that you can give your loved ones in the event that you pass away. They also give the option of having your loved ones receive payments from a trust or other form of liquidation. You do however have to ensure that you provide the necessary details to the insurance company to enable them to pay the premiums on the basis that your loved ones will be left with some type of income after you pass away.​

The choice between a term and whole policy is usually down to personal preference although there are pros and cons to both. Term life insurance provides you with a set level of protection for a fixed period of time whilst a whole policy pays out a fixed amount for the duration of the policy. Whichever type of plan you choose you should ensure that your monthly premium payments reflect these payments so that you know exactly what your loved ones will be entitled to each month.​

Having life insurance at the age of 50 will surely requires much
