There usually comes a point in most people's lives where life insurance becomes an important consideration. Certain lifestyle changes which most people encounter such as getting married, having children or buying a house tend to make people think about protecting the people closest to them if they are no longer around. That's exactly what Life Insurance does. A Life Insurance policy pays a tax free lump sum cash payment 'the Death Benefit', if you were to die within a certain timeframe 'the Term'.

Term Assurance typically pays a one off lump sum if you were to die within the term of the contract. If you lived beyond the term, the policy would be worth nothing and you would get nothing back. The two most common types are Level Term Assurance and Decreasing Term Assurance.
