Your mortgage payment is probably your largest monthly outgoing. If there is a loss of income due to death or terminal illness this could be one of the most difficult payments to maintain. A Mortgage Life Insurance policy is designed to help pay off the outstanding balance on your capital and interest repayment mortgage in the event of your death or diagnosis of a terminal illness during the plan term. The benefit is payable as a lump sum. The amount of cover will decrease broadly in line with the amount outstanding on your mortgage.
Risk Factors
It is vital that you answer all the questions on your application fully, truthfully and accurately and that you tell us about your medical history in full. Failure to mention something could result in your policy being inappropriate for your protection needs and may invalidate any claim you may make later.
If you don't pay your premiums, your policy and your cover will end 30 days after the last premium was due and you will get nothing back.
If you choose critical illness cover, Aviva will only pay out if you are diagnosed with a critical illness that meets the plan definitions and then survive for at least 14 days.
This policy has no cash-in value at any time.
Inflation may reduce the value of your cover.
