What is a joint life insurance policy?

A joint life insurance policy covers you and your other half under one policy.

This means if you or your partner pass away, the other will get a lump sum. The money can be used for anything, like bills and mortgage repayments. This offers you both security in case something unexpected happens.

It’s also called partners life insurance, couples life insurance and first-to-die life insurance.

How joint and single life insurance are different

If you and your partner buy a joint life insurance policy

  • It covers both you and your partner
  • It pays out once
  • The policy ends when one partner passes away
  • It’s usually cheaper than two single life insurance policies.

If you and your partner buy 2 single life insurance policies

  • Each policy covers one person
  • It pays out twice (once each policy)
  • The other partner will still be covered even if one policy pays out
  • It’s usually more expensive than joint life insurance.

Is it better to get joint or single life insurance?

Deciding between joint or single life insurance depends on your personal circumstances.

Joint life insurance is often cheaper and gives you the right amount of cover together as a couple. A joint policy considers both partner salaries and monthly outgoings.
