How it works

Life insurance aims to protect your family from the financial consequences of you dying or being diagnosed with a Terminal Illness during the benefit term, by paying out a lump sum.

You can choose level or reducing life cover.

  • Level Life Insurance - the amount you are insured for remains the same throughout the benefit term.
  • Reducing Life Insurance - the amount decreases over the benefit term. This cover is usually chosen to protect a repayment mortgage, so that the amount of insurance decreases roughly in line with your remaining mortgage debt.

Simply Life Benefits

  • Terminal Illness benefit is automatically included at no extra cost
  • Straightforward, easy to understand life cover
  • 100% decision when you call us
  • Competitive rates
  • Single life or joint life. (The joint life policy will pay out when the first person dies.)
  • Your premiums are guaranteed. This means the amount you pay when you take out the benefit stays the same through the benefit term.

Points to remember

  • If you stop paying your premiums, your life insurance will stop immediately.
  • This type of life insurance only provides a lump sum on death or diagnosis of a terminal illness and has no cash in value at any time.
  • If the information AEGON Scottish Equitable receive when you take out your policy is incomplete, incorrect or untrue, they may not pay your claim.
