Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, joint life insurance is available to unmarried couples, civil partners, or even business partners — as long as both parties are jointly applying and have shared financial responsibilities, like a mortgage or other joint commitments.

Both applicants usually go through health and lifestyle questions during the application process. If one person has health issues, it could affect the cost or terms of the policy. You can compare your options and find the best fit for both of you by speaking with a trusted expert who can guide you toward the most suitable joint cover.

Yes, most joint life policies provide the same payout amount regardless of which partner passes away first. It’s designed to offer equal protection for both people.

In most cases, both people are equal policyholders and jointly own the policy. That means you both have equal rights and responsibilities — including making changes or cancelling the cover. If one person passes away under a first-death policy, the payout goes to the surviving partner or named beneficiary, and the policy ends.

What is joint life insurance?

Joint life insurance is one policy that covers two people at the same time. It pays out a lump sum when the first person dies during the policy term. This type of insurance is popular with anyone who shares financial responsibilities - such as couples, family members, friends, or business partners - and wants to protect their shared finances with just one plan.

How does joint life insurance work?

Joint life insurance pays out either when the first person dies (first death policy) or after both people have passed away (second death policy), depending on the policy type. After the payout, the policy usually ends. Both individuals are covered under one plan, making it easier and often cheaper than two separate policies.
