Taking out a Legal and General Life Insurance policy is a simple and popular way to protect your loved ones financially.

 The length of time you choose to be insured for is called the 'term'. With Legal and General Life Insurance you can choose a term between one and 40 years for Level Term Assurance, or between five and 40 years for Decreasing Term Assurance, depending on your age when you take the policy out .

If you die during the term, your Legal and General Life Insurance policy will pay out a lump sum of money.

You choose how much Legal and General Life Insurance you buy. People often want their policies to pay out a multiple of their salary, or you may have dependants to think of, or loan to cover.

The amount you must pay on a monthly or annual basis is the premium. Legal and General Life Insurance premiums start from just 20p a day.

Legal and General Life Insurance policies include Terminal Illness Cover at no extra cost. This means that the policy will pay out if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness for which you are eligible to claim (although not in the last 18 months of the plan).
