Family Income Benefit Life Insurance
Family Income Benefit Life Insurance is designed to pay a regular income for the remainder of the policy term in the event of the death of the policyholder(s) during that term.
For example if someone chooses an annual benefit of £10,000 over a 20 year term and was to die after 5 years, an income of £10,000 per annum would be paid for the remaining 15 years. If however they were to die after 18 years, the income would only be paid out for 2 years.
This method of life insurance cover is usually used to cover the anticipated costs of raising children until they reach independence if a parent was to die whilst they are still dependent, although it can be used for other purposes.
The risk to the insurer reduces over time, so again it is a cost efficient way of providing life cover.
Many forms of life cover also offer the option to escalate benefits over time so they keep pace with inflation, and a number also offer add ons such as critical illness cover, waiver of premium (where premiums are continued in the event of certain illnesses and disabilities) or the ability to extend the term or convert to a different type of cover to provide a greater degree of flexibility.
