Mortgage Life Assurance

Hi Everyone - hoping someone will be ably to clarify somthing for me!

I currently have decreasing term assurance on my mortgage and 2 homeowner loans with my bank. These combined add up to around £80000

I am looking to change my insurance to a stand alone provider and my question is would I need 3 differnt policies or can I just add them together and get 1 policy for £80000?

I am worried if I only get the one policy and if any thing happens they will only pay out for the mortgage and not pay the 2 homeowner loans.

Currently they are all under 1 policy but as I said this is from the original lender.

Thanks
:D All I want is an opportunity to prove that money doesn't buy happiness :D

    You can do either. Usually its best to pick a segment for each need and not have a single policy. Modern plans can have multiple segments within one plan so its still fairly easy to sort out.

    They will pay out the lump sum due to your estate. Your executor of the estate will deal with the repayments. Not the insurer.
