Life Insurance
Sanlam have a variety of life insurance policies available, which can be personalised for you. Some provide cover until you die, while others are for a defined period, such as the number of years remaining on your mortgage. Policies come into effect if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Life cover is the simplest and most common type of financial protection for families and estates, which will pay out a lump sum or annuity when triggered. Additional details are only available upon further enquiry with the company.

Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with a life-changing condition, such as a stroke, heart attack or cancer. You can use the money to pay off debts, such as a mortgage, or for improvements around a home. Alternatively, the payout could help cover additional financial pressure from extra costs during long-term recovery – such as medication, making your home suitable for recovery, or employing someone to care for your children. Additional details are only available upon further enquiry with the company.
