Explanation

What is Whole Life policy? A Whole Life policy will pay out a lump sum benefit when the life assured dies. This type of Whole Life policy provides cover for the rest of your life.

Whole-of-life policies payout a lump sum when you die, whenever that is. The size of the payout depends on your policy. With some policies, you can stop paying once you reach a certain age, but with others, you have to make monthly or annual payments right up until you die.
