What is over 50s life insurance?

Over 50s life insurance is a really affordable and popular way to help cover funeral costs or leave a cash gift for loved ones.

And SunLife's is the most trusted plan of all.

You pay a little each month and get a cash payout when you die. The average payout is over £4,000.

"Really affordable premiums that never rise and a guaranteed payout. No wonder SunLife is the market leader"

£1 from every plan goes to the
British Heart Foundation.

Guaranteed acceptance,
and no medical questions, for ages 50-85.

Guaranteed payout.
(We pay 100% of claims.)

Important information

  • You're fully covered after a year. Then the cash payout you've chosen is paid when you die.
  • The total paid in premiums could be more than the cash payout (depending on how long you live).
  • You need to pay your monthly premiums to keep your cover. If you stop, so will the insurance and you won't get anything back.
  • Inflation reduces buying power over time.
