    are there policies that cover for suicide

    Speak to these people - click here - they have the best policy on suicide.

    Most life insurance policies exclude suicide claims within, say, the first two years.

    Most policies exclude suicide for at least the first twelve months, sometimes longer.

  • I ask this question because its always on my mind and I am afraid for my family and don't want to leave them in a mess, but I know one day it might happen. I need to protect them

    Virtually all life assurance policies cover suicide unless you have a history or mental health issues.

    If it is on your mind at the moment that you are considering suicide then you should immediately contact someone for help.

    It sounds from reading your other posts that you having a tough time.

    If you are having issues with debt then please speak to Citizens Advice Bureau.

    If you are having trouble emotionally or are feeling suicidal then please speak to your doctor as soon as possible.

    Both of the above plus this board will help as much as possible.

    I am expressing my concern as my sister committed suicide, so understand the despair and also the sadness and sorrow that is left behind.

  • thankyou Clarematt, I am so sorry about your sister, My sister died 10yrs ago, I do understand the sorrow, I still feel it now.
    I just want to be sure I've got thongs covered sometimes I feel out of control, I didn't even feel like this when my sister died. Its different somehow I have no sense of self worth. I just feel I have screwed up big time. I am just a bit scared it may all get the better of me. so I need to make things right.. Thankyou..
  • if possible I would still like to know who would provide the best life assurance cover including suicide cover etc thankyou
