What is FamilyLIFE+ and how can it protect me?

FamilyLIFE+ is a unique whole of life protection product for you and your family that rovides peace of mind at an affordable price. You can insure yourself, your Spouse/Significant other, your parents or the parents of your Spouse/Significant other, plus your children, subject to a maximum of 12 insured persons. Children under age 18 are free to add to the policy.

You can choose a benefit level depending on your needs of £2,000, £3,000, £4,000 or £6,000. The cover is guaranteed for as long as premiums continue to be paid to the Insurer and until the last of the insured persons die.
