A Whole of Life Cover plan is a life cover plan with no end date i.e it pays a lumpsum on your death, whenever that may be. This type of plan is commonly used to cover funeral costs or inheritance tax bills.
The monthly and annual premium amount remains the same throughout the policy and is paid off to the insured in case of his death.
Certain plans offer a cash back option after an initial period should you decide you no longer wish to continue with cover.
As the plan has no end date you know a lump is guaranteed to be paid on your death, provided you continue to pay the premiums.
The plan will cover the inheritance tax on your assets that your family will be accountable for in case of your death.

It provides a Lump Sum payment to your family or loved ones when you die. Whole Life Insurance plans guarantee that your family will be protected financially if something tragic happens to you, whether that be tomorrow or at age 105(hopefully).
Flexible Plans with Cash In Option & Protected Benefit Option
You can choose the whole life plan that suits you and your budget. You can include additional features for example:
1. Cash In Option: After 15 years, you can choose to take an immediate cashback( you will receive 70% of all premiums you paid into your plan back as a cash payment), This can be a useful option in the event of an unforeseen financial emergency where funds are needed urgently.
2. Protected Benefit: After 15 years, you can choose to stop your monthly payments and have a lower amount paid out. This means you pay no more premiums but have peace of mind that you still have some Life Insurance in place for the rest of your days. This option can be useful if you find you can no longer afford the cost of insurance but would still have to have some level of cover.
3. Standard Cover: If you feel you just want basic Whole Life Insurance without the above-added extras you can just select a standard Whole of Life Insurance plan.
