Life Term Insurance or Mortgage Protection Life Assurance
The term of the cover is set to cover a mortgage or life style. If you die during the term your insurer will pay the sum insured. If the policy is set up as a joint life cover then the sum insured is payable upon the first death. The policy ceases when a claim has been made or at the maturity date of the policy. The policy does not have a cash in value at any time.
