The best over 50s life insurance depends on your health, your budget and what you want the payout to do — from clearing debts to helping with funeral costs. A broker will compare leading UK insurers and call you with tailored quotes.

The best policy for you depends on three things: your health, your budget and your purpose.
If you're in reasonable health, a policy with health questions often gives you more cover for your money. Plans with no health questions, ages 50-85, suit those who'd rather skip the questions.
Premiums for the same level of cover vary widely between insurers. A broker compares leading UK insurers to find the best price for your budget.
Whether you want to clear debts, leave a lump sum for family or help with funeral costs, the purpose shapes how much cover suits you and which type of policy fits best.
