Changes in demography and life expectancy have led to an increase in the number of people aged 55 and above in the UK. The trend is expected to continue in the next several years. This change has not been lost on the life insurance companies of the country. Many have come out with products specifically tailored for the needs of the senior generation.

Those aged fifty-five and above are largely nearing their retirement and this is the time for them to think even more about leaving a small nest egg for their survivors. Their health status also may be below par in many cases and many of them still think that there is no possibility of taking a life insurance cover at 55. Then there are issues such as funeral expenses –by no means a small amount – to be planned and taken care of.  In short, the requirements of those in this age category are different from the younger generation.

Most insurance companies now have life insurance products specifically for those over 55. The salient features of these include guaranteed acceptance, which does not require people to provide their medical history with their application. The option to cover funeral costs comes at a small additional premium.
