you\u2019re fit and haven\u2019t had any major health issues, you\u2019re probably better off taking out a standard life insurance policy. At the most basic level you have to choose between two types of life insurance.<\/p><ul><li><strong>A term life insurance<\/strong> policy will protect you for a set amount of time, and if you die during your coverage period, the insurer will pay out.<\/li><li><strong>A whole-of-life insurance <\/strong> deal will guarantee a payout when you die, but you have to pay each month or year until that point. You can look in more detail at the different variations of these policies in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/life-insurance\">explanation guide here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul><p>They\u2019ll generally offer bigger payouts than an over 50s policy though, and you can get coverage add-ons for terminal illness cover and critical illness cover too.<\/p><div itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\" id=\"cost\">How much does life insurance cost for someone 50 or older?<\/h3><div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\"><p>How much you\u2019ll have to pay for life insurance comes down to whether your insurer sees you as high-risk. Factors include:<\/p><ul><li>Your age, gender and job.<\/li><li>Any pre-existing medical conditions.<\/li><li>Whether you\u2019re a smoker.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><h3 id=\"odds\">What are my odds of dying in my 50s?<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re considering taking out life insurance you may be wondering how the insurer calculates your monthly or annual premiums. Just how does it make a profit year in, year out, when it has to hand out potentially hefty end of life payouts?<\/p><p>Basically, it has to weigh up how much of a risk you\u2019ll be and try to work out how likely it is that a customer will die in the next few years.<\/p><p>According to our data, if you\u2019re a 53-year-old man, you have a 2.44% risk of dying in the next five years. Meanwhile a 53-year-old woman has a 1.65% chance of dying in the next five years.<\/p><p>This analysis doesn\u2019t take into account factors such as health and lifestyle, but it does show the major part gender plays in determining life expectancy.<\/p><p>Looking further into the future, your odds of dying clearly rise as you move into your 70s and 80s. That same 53-year-old woman has a 13.8% chance of dying 20 years down the line. Meanwhile the 53-year-old man has a 20.09% chance.<\/p><p>It\u2019s these sorts of age-based mortality statistics that insurance underwriters will look at when working out your rate. A healthy 53-year-old should still be able to find affordable insurance, plus you will get cheaper premiums now than when you\u2019re in your 60s or 70s.<\/p><div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\" id=\"types\">What other types of insurance should I consider if I am older than 50?<\/h3><div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\"><ul><li><strong>Critical illness insurance.<\/strong> This type of policy will pay you a cash sum should you be diagnosed with a serious and life-threatening medical condition. The illnesses covered vary from provider to provider, but you will generally be protected for cancer, strokes and heart disease. You might use the money for mortgage, rent, childcare costs, medication or alterations to your home.<\/li><li><strong>Terminal illness insurance. <\/strong>If you are diagnosed as terminally ill and have been given a life expectancy of no longer than 12 months, this benefit lets you claim your life insurance payout early. This is usually included in most life insurance deals.<\/li><li><strong>Income protection insurance.<\/strong> Income protection insurance will provide financial support if you have been made redundant, or are unable to work due to an accident or illness.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><h3 id=\"medical\">Can I apply for life insurance without having to take a medical exam?<\/h3><p>It depends. If you\u2019re applying for a standard life insurance policy you will have to do a medical screening. This will mean providing details of your and your family\u2019s medical history, and you might have to undergo blood tests and medical examinations too.<\/p><p>With over 50s policies you don\u2019t need to pass any medical exam though. You won\u2019t even need to answer any questions about your health. As such they\u2019re ideal for anyone who has had pre-existing medical conditions and is struggling to find life insurance coverage.<\/p><div class=\"did-you-know\"><div class=\"info-box-special-header\">Must read<\/div><p>You\u2019re <strong>not required<\/strong> to undergo any medical tests or answer any health questions when you apply for <strong>over 50s insurance.<\/strong> So long as you meet the eligibility criteria in terms of age, you should be accepted.<\/p><\/div><h3 id=\"policy\">How to get the right life insurance policy if you\u2019re older than 50<\/h3><p>Most people shouldn\u2019t have any trouble finding life insurance when they\u2019re in their 50s, 60s or even 70s. However, it\u2019s vital that you weigh up your options if you want to get an affordable policy that meets your needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/life-insurance\">Here are a few important steps<\/a> to think about when buying life insurance:<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong>Read the small print.<\/strong> Always go over the terms and conditions and make sure you\u2019re getting the right protection without any unnecessary add-ons. This way you won\u2019t overpay for a policy.<\/li><li><strong>Watch out for exclusions. <\/strong> Check the eligibility criteria and see if there are exclusions in the terms and conditions. If an over 50s policy won\u2019t pay out for the first two years, for instance, then it won\u2019t be worth taking out if you have a terminal illness with a short-term life expectancy.<\/li><li><strong>Think about your health. <\/strong> If applying for a standard life insurance policy you\u2019ll have to answer questions about your health. Be aware that any pre-existing conditions and lifestyle habits like smoking can drastically affect your premiums.<\/li><li><strong>Joint life insurance.<\/strong> Taking out a policy with your partner can mean getting cheaper premiums. However, the surviving person will be left uninsured when the other dies.<\/li><li><strong>Insurance broker.<\/strong> While comparison websites can give you a pretty clear idea about the insurance you want, a broker could be useful too. They can advise you and help find an affordable policy tailored to your needs.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/life-insurance\">Unsure what makes a good life insurance deal? We give a step-by-step guide to finding a life insurance policy that\u2019s made for you.<\/a><\/p><h4>What if my application has been denied and I\u2019m older than 50?<\/h4><p>If you\u2019re rejected by a life insurance provider, you can always ask the insurer to reassess your application. The company might request further medical information to work out if you\u2019re too high-risk to protect.<\/p><p>Should you be knocked back again, there are alternative policies available. Over 50s policies and prepaid funeral plans won\u2019t require any details about your medical record.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Finding the perfect life insurance policy once you\u2019re in your 50s is by no means easy. You\u2019ll have to shop around and really compare all the different deals ad providers out there.<\/p><p>You can use price comparison websites, or even an insurance broker. They could consider your exact situation and needs, before offering advice about the ideal life insurance.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\">The offers compared on this page are chosen from a range of products we can track; we don't cover every product on the market...yet.
