Over 50 Life Insurance
Our Over 50 Life Insurance provides guaranteed acceptance without medical questions for UK residents aged 49-85. This whole-of-life policy ensures a cash payout for loved ones after 12 months, with coverage starting immediately. Designed for those seeking straightforward protection, it offers fixed premiums and guaranteed cash benefits to help with funeral costs or inheritance planning.
Guaranteed Inheritance Plan
This inheritance solution requires limited health questions for enhanced payouts. Available to UK residents aged 49-75, it provides immediate coverage upon acceptance. The plan helps preserve family assets by guaranteeing a tax-efficient cash sum that can offset inheritance tax liabilities while maintaining policyholders' financial independence during retirement.
Equity Release
Tailored for UK homeowners aged 55+, our equity release products unlock property wealth without forced sales. Options include lifetime mortgages that allow retaining home ownership while accessing tax-free cash. We provide comprehensive guidance on implications, costs, and alternatives to ensure suitable financial decisions for retirement enjoyment.
Funeral Planning
Our funeral planning resources help UK residents pre-arrange and pre-fund funeral arrangements. We offer practical guides covering costs, legal requirements, and service personalisation. The Funeral Cost Calculator helps estimate expenses while our digital legacy guide assists in organising important documents, reducing family burdens during difficult times.
Health and Wellbeing Service
This complimentary service provides UK policyholders with health resources and lifestyle guidance. Accessible to all customers, it includes articles on retirement hobbies, mental health strategies, and volunteering opportunities. The service aims to enhance quality of life through practical advice on maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing in later years.

Report
I recently had the opportunity to deal with Ben Aldridge, Advisor at Sun Life Financial. It was a very pleasant experience. He is a very knowledgeable, professional person. He returned all of my e-mails in a timely manner and helped us get the Benefits that we wanted. I would certainly deal with him again. Thanks Ben
