Comprehensive insurance giving you the right cover for your later years.

What does my life insurance cover when over 50?

HOW PROTECTION PLANS HELP

Life insurance cover doesn't change when you're over 50 on a VitalityLife policy. It enables individuals to leave behind a guaranteed cash lump sum to their loved ones when they die. This can contribute towards financial goals such as paying off the mortgage, everyday bills or even towards funeral costs.

WHO IT'S FOR

Whether you're receiving your pension or close to retirement our life insurance cover is designed to meet the needs of all ages.

We want to ensure joining the plan is as simple and smooth as possible.

You just need to tell us about any medical conditions as part of your application.
