Does anyone know of a British company who would quote for life cover for an English male aged 65, who lives in France, and only has a French bank account? It seems that most French companies will only quote up to age 64, and, anyway, it's unlike life cover as we know it.
Many thanks for your help.

    No!

    As far as I'm aware, all UK companies require premiums to be paid from a UK bank account and most providers do not allow policyholders to reside outside of the UK for more than 6-months of the year (with 1-2 exceptions).

    You may be able to get cover via the Lloyds of London market using a provider such as Pulse Insurance, however, the premiums are likely to be pretty high as they are a specialist company and I'm fairly certain they will only transact business via a broker.

    Pulse do only go via brokers, but they're not always expensive.

    Ive seen some quotes that have come back pretty competitive.
