Can you put the plan in trust?
Tick icon Tick icon
 

Yes, this plan can be written under trust if you want to leave money to specific people and avoid the lump sum pay–out being subject to inheritance tax.

Is terminal illness benefit included?
Tick icon Tick icon
 

Terminal Illness benefit is included in the cover. This means we pay you the sum insured if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness and are not expected to live more than 12 months (while your plan has more than 18 months to run). If we pay out after a terminal illness claim, your plan will end.

Is critical illness cover included?
Cross icon Cross icon
 

Terminal Illness benefit is not the same as critical illness cover. Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a critical illness that meets our policy definition and then survive for at least 14 days. We only cover the critical illnesses we define in our policy and no others.

Critical Illness cover is not available on these Life Insurance plans. You can choose to take out an alternative plan offered by Aviva, where there is an option to add critical illness to your cover. To apply, call us on 0800 068 4232.

Can you choose the amount of cover?
Tick icon Tick icon
 

Any amount up to £500,000, depending on your circumstances. You decide how much cover you need. You can work it out using our life cover calculator.

Can you increase the amount of cover during the plan term? Cross icon
