- Single Life Policy
A Single Life Policy is life insurance for one person, which means that you’d be covered for the length of the policy.
Joint Life Policy
A Joint Life Policy is life insurance for two people, but this policy will only pay out once. This will be when the first person dies, meaning the other person will receive the pay-out.
Critical Illness Cover
We also give you the option (subject to eligibility) to include Critical Illness Cover as an add-on to your life insurance policy. If you’re diagnosed with one of the Critical Illnesses covered under the policy, you’re able to claim for a pay-out (payable only once) that won’t impact your life insurance. Child Critical Illness Cover is also available and it covers any children whether you have them or are planning to have them in the future.
Wills
We offer our customers a free Will (worth £150**) when a valid life insurance policy is bought. This is written by a selected partner and allows you to be sure that your estate is given to the beneficiaries that you choose.
Having a Will means that you can be sure that your wishes will be taken into account in the future, as it’s a legal document. Our Will is usually worth £150, which means that if you buy Budget Life Insurance, you could be saving money on creating a Will.
Once you have purchased your Budget Life Insurance policy and have received your documents, please call our free Customer Service Line on 0330 0188806 (Mon-Fri 8am-9pm, Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10am-3.30pm) and our team will assist you as to how you claim your free Will.

Trust
If you have a Single Life Insurance Policy, you may be able to write it in Trust leaving it to chosen beneficiaries. We provide a free Trust Tool** to all our customers, which means that you can be sure that the people you want to receive the proceeds of your policy do.
Some benefits of setting up a Trust include:
- If your estate is worth more than £325,000 your beneficiaries are less likely to have to pay the inheritance tax, which is currently at 40%. This means that your family will receive the whole pay-out.
- If you leave children under the age of 18 behind, you’ll be able to nominate a Trustee(s) to look after the Trust until the child turns 18 (or the age that you specified within the Trust).
If you wish to consider setting up a Trust for your single life insurance policy, go to Your Account or give us a call on 0330 0188806 to apply for a form to be sent you for free. For applicable terms and conditions, please click here.
