Are you over 50 and thinking of getting life insurance? The Insurance Surgery is an expert in finding the best quotes for over 50s life cover to suit your circumstances, so give us a call today.
Life insurance for over 50s differs slightly from regular life insurance. If you hadn’t already guessed, this cover is designed for people over the age of 50 and below the age of 85. Cover is available up to £40,000 and can be used for a selection of unique reasons. Some of these may include:
Qualifying for over 50s life insurance is quite simple – as long as you’re between the ages of 50 and 85, of course. Unlike many other types of life insurance, your health status won’t be questioned during an over 50s life cover application, and you won’t be required to take a medical either!
You can generally expect your monthly payments to be fixed premiums, meaning that your payments aren’t affected by inflation and are easier to budget for. However, premiums are typically higher than those for traditional life insurance policies. Yet, the cover is often more affordable for people who don’t qualify for other types of insurance due to their age or health status.
Whilst there are many benefits to over 50s life cover, they don’t necessarily work for everyone. Our role as insurance brokers is to make sure that you have the right protection in place for you and your family – that includes advising on whether your circumstances would benefit more from an over 50 life insurance plan or a regular life insurance policy.
Our experts will explain our recommendations and give you everything you need to know to make an informed decision.
We take pride in the experience that we offer, guaranteeing excellent service at all times.
With 25 years of specialist life and protection experience, we can find the perfect policy for you.
With a broad selection of partners, we are well-equipped to find the best insurance deals for you.
Known for making insurance simple, The Insurance Surgery is a trusted, award-winning broker.
When taking out over 50s life insurance, you can choose to take out as much as £40,000, paid out as a fixed lump sum when you pass. The amount of cover you require will determine how much your monthly payment will be. It will be much cheaper if you take out a policy for £5,000 compared to one for £35,000.
Your life insurance quote can depend on a wide range of circumstances, including factors like:
Jean is a 57-year-old female with no medical conditions. She would like a payout of £25,000 to cover funeral costs and leave a lump sum of inheritance for her two children.
We found Jean the increasing policy below:
Daniel is a 59-year-old man whose wife is employed part-time because of an illness. He worries about her being able to afford the mortgage if he passes. He would like a £40,000 payout to cover funeral costs and pay off what remains of his mortgage.
We found Daniel the increasing policy below:

It’s always cheaper to take out life insurance at a younger age because insurers will perceive that you are at minimal risk of making a claim. If you take out a policy in your early 20s, you could benefit from long-term financial security for just a few pounds per month. The older you get, the more likely you will make a claim or have developed a pre-existing condition that could affect your premium price.
If you are keen to protect your family’s finances and leave behind a lump sum after you pass, you may want to consider life insurance over 50. Whilst it isn’t necessary for everyone, it can provide that extra bit of security and peace of mind, knowing that you are covered if anything were to happen. Get in touch with us today to receive free advice from our experts!
As someone over the age of 50, there are several life insurance options available for you to choose from. There is over 50s life insurance, allowing you to get a maximum of a £40,000 payout to cover the costs of funerals and leave behind a lump sum for family members. However, this policy isn’t suitable for everyone. Our experts may, instead, advise you to choose between a whole of life insurance policy and term life insurance.
Unlike regular life insurance, an over-50s life insurance plan is slightly different. You will not be asked any medical questions or need to attend a medical.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between the two types of life insurance cover. Even if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you will not be asked about it during the application process. It will also not affect the cost of your monthly payments.
