Yearly Renewable Term Assurance

Posts: 1 Newbie
I have a yearly renewable term assurace policy with Phoenix Life. In 2010/2011 my monthly premium was £19.93 for cover of £71,173. This year (2015/16) my premiums have increased to £40 per month for cover of £83,328. I am 57 years old and the term assurance ends when I am 70.
I am retired now on a small pension and feel that £40 a month is a lot to be paying out. ( I am married and am not dependent solely on my income). Am I doing the right thing continuing this policy or is there something else out there like a life insurance policy payable on death. I just wanted a bit of security for my husband should anything happen to me.
Thanks in anticipation

Approach an IFA or Protection Broker and they can run some quotes for you to see if your cover is competitive or not.0
