Single cover covers one insured person. Joint cover will pay out benefit on the first death of either insured person.
It usually takes a couple of days for any life company to process your application and issue a policy. In certain circumstances a life company may request a medical report from your doctor, or indeed to attend a medical by one of the life companys' doctors before then issue your policy. In such cases the costs involved in preparing such reports are usually borne by the life company who requested them.
Many things affect the price of life insurance but the main ones are :
- Type of Cover : Mortgage protection (reducing cove) is usually cheaper than level term insurance.
- Age : Generally the older the client, the riskies it is for a life company to offer life insurance.
- Length of Term : generally, the longer the term of cover, the more expensive it will be.
- Smoker Status : Life comapnies tend to place a higher health risk on smokers over non smokers and charge a higher premium accordingly. In order to be considered a non smoker, a person must not have smoked for at least 12 months.
- General Health : Certain health conditions, where known by the client at the time of applying for cover will result in a 'loading' of the premium to reflect the higher health risks associated with such a health or medical condition.
