Why choose us for your protection needs


How are you looking after the people you care about the most? You could help to protect them with one of our policies, just like our other 3.3 million protection customers. Here are some reasons why you too, should choose a life insurance policy from Legal & General.

We're one of the UK's leading life insurers:

Our position as the leading UK protection provider has allowed us to offer a wide variety of excellent products and services. We review our prices every week to ensure we're able to offer you great value for money.

Our life insurance premiums start from just £6 per month, that's only 20p a day (your actual premium will depend on your individual needs and circumstance).

We won the Best Life Assurance Provider at the Financial Adviser Life and Pensions Awards, April 2009. With over 90% of our customers rating our overall service as good/very good or excellent, you can be assured that we will provide you with a great service.

 

Accidental Death Benefit

Occasionally due to your personal circumstances we may not be able to provide cover straight away. So while your application is processed, subject to certain conditions, we will provide you with free accidental death benefit for 90 days or until your application is completed, whichever happens first.

Guaranteed Insurability Option

We allow you to increase your cover without having to provide further medical evidence later on, subject to certain conditions. You can do this for:

- Birth or adoption of a child.

- Marriage or entering into a registered civil partnership.

- Increasing your mortgage due to moving house or undertaking major home improvements.

- Your salary increases as a result of a new job or promotion.

Terminal Illness Cover


This is included in our life assurance policies at no extra cost. If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, have less than 12 months to live and are eligible to claim, we will pay out your full benefit. Terminal illness cover is included in our plans with a term of two years or more but is not available in the last 18 months of cover.

SmoothMove

SmoothMove is a 24 hour rescue service provided when moving house. It's available at no extra cost to all customers, who take out one of the applicable mortgage related protection policies. The cover provides emergency assistance both on the day of the house move and up to three months after you've settled into your new home. SmoothMove is provided by Inter Partner Assistance, one of the largest international emergency assistance groups.

Making a claim

If a claim ever needs to be made on your life insurance policy, we will do all we can to ensure the process is as smooth and hassle free as possible.
