Whole of Life Insurance

As the name suggests whole of life insurance cover is designed to run until the policyholder(s) dies, irrespective of when that occurs.

Whole life insurance can be used to offset inheritance tax.The cost of cover tends to be more expensive than level term life insurance because there is a certainty that the insurer will have to pay out at some point (assuming premiums are maintained), unlike level term life insurance where the policy matures without value upon survival to the maturity date.

There is usually an investment element associated with whole of life insurance policies and as such the choice of provider becomes more subjective, unlike level term life insurance where the premium paid in return for the required cover is normally the main concern.

There is more to consider when choosing a whole of life insurance provider, and it is important to consider the investment expertise of the insurer as the investment performance can affect the premiums paid in the future.

You must also consider whether you wish to set your premiums on a standard cover that is designed to maintain the same premium for life subject to a certain level of investment return, or whether you wish to opt for maximum cover which means you will pay a lower level of premiums in the short term, but will almost certainly result in an increase to these premiums over time.

Another consideration is whether to choose a guaranteed premium, or to have a premium that could vary in the future.

Whole of life insurance cover is used for a variety of reasons, but is usually used to cover a liability that does not end at a predetermined date. Where life insurance is used to cover an inheritance tax liability it is usually by way of whole of life insurance cover.
