It is worth reviewing your policy to check it’s still right for you. For example, if your policy was to cover the length of your mortgage, is that still the same?

Be aware that:

• Changes to your policy may affect how much you pay for it.
• Your existing policy may need to be cancelled and a new policy set up. A new policy may have different terms and conditions.

If you cancel your policy within 30 days of it starting, Legal and General will return any payments you have made.

Things to consider:

• It’s usually cheaper to buy life insurance when you’re younger. Consider changing the policy instead.
• If you’re considering a new policy, what you’re covered for (for example, types of illness) may be different.
