What will happen if I don't have life insurance?


Many British citizens don’t take out life insurance – it isn’t that they don’t know about it or can’t afford it; it is just that they aren’t too bothered by it. It is true that life insurance is not compulsory – there is no law compelling Britons to take out a policy. That said, it would be wise to know what would happen if you don’t have a life insurance policy. To understand it better, it is important to first explain what a life insurance policy is.

Every family has a breadwinner be it dad, mum or even a relative. Imagine that this relative suddenly dies – where will the family turn to for income? If they don’t have a huge amount of savings (and many UK families don’t) they will be forced to completely change the lifestyle that they are used to. A life insurance policy is one way to make sure that this doesn’t happen. If the breadwinner has one then it cashes in as soon as they die and their family can go on living the way that they are accustomed to.

So what does all this mean for you? It means that so long as you have someone who relies on you for a living it is very important that you have a life insurance policy. In case you die your dependants will get enough money from the policy to go on living comfortably. They can continue to pay the mortgage, any outstanding debts that you may have left behind, they can keep going to school and they can even continue to go on the usual holidays and get the usual entertainment.

If you look in the market you will see that there are all kinds of life insurance policies. In fact every insurance company has one and some have several. Policies differ due to many factors – how long you take them out for, how much you pay in premiums, whether you take them out indefinitely or just for a period and so on. It would be a mistake on your part to buy a life insurance policy without talking to an expert on the issue. One of the top experts in the UK is Mortgage Advice Services.
