Myths About Life Insurance ‘Deterring Homeowners From Taking Out Cover’ - Quotelifecover
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerHave
you been considering purchasing a life
insurance policy, only to find yourself hesitating
over one or two lingering doubts? There’s certainly nothing wrong with making
doubly sure that a particular insurance plan on offer would be the right one
for your requirements. However, it is also crucial not to be put off protecting
yourself and your family by unfounded worries.
This
much was brought to our minds lately by research revealing that a whopping two
in five homeowners do not presently have any life insurance.
This
particularly concerns us in the case of those households that would struggle to
continue paying their essential bills - including the mortgage and other
monthly expenditure - if the main earner was to pass away. And this eventuality
is precisely what life insurance is designed to protect against.
Don’t put off buying life insurance for the wrong reasons!
So,
what could possibly be deterring homeowners from buying the life insurance that
would provide a one-off tax-free lump sum to the family of the policyholder in
the event of the latter’s death?
Sadly,
the reasons uncovered by the aforementioned survey by a price comparison site
were not always ones that had much grounding in reality. Among the top reasons
given by Britons for not purchasing life insurance, some said they didn’t feel
they needed it, while others said they had an underlying health condition that
made it difficult or expensive to obtain life insurance.
Other
justifications for their stance expressed by the poll respondents who did not
have life insurance, included simply not wishing to think about it, or a belief
that “insurers never pay out”.
But
as the researchers pointed out, not all these common reasons for refusing the
chance to buy life insurance are backed up by the reality. They cited the
example of a 20-year policy worth £100,000 for a non-smoking 30-year-old, which
they said could be as cheap as £4.36 a month.
As
for the notion that insurers don’t pay out, a 2019 study by the Association of
British Insurers (ABI) found that 98.3% of claims were paid out by insurers.
These
realities underline the importance of being well-informed on the truths and
myths surrounding life insurance, so that you don’t risk your family’s future
financial wellbeing on the basis of misleading or outright wrong perceptions.
