Here is at brief description of the coverage Legal & General Life Insurance offers.

• Term Life Insurance - This is the simplest type of life insurance. It is payable if the insured person dies within a specific period of time, such as 5, 10, or 30 years. Legal & General Life Insurance offers term lengths ranging from 10 to 40 years.
• Level Term Insurance - These are term policies that have the same fixed premium and payment amount throughout the life of the policy.
• Decreasing Term Insurance- This type of term insurance has fixed premiums but the death benefit decreases over the life of the policy.
• Whole Life Insurance - Whole life insurance policies remain in force for the entire life of the policyholder provided premiums are paid.
• Universal Life Insurance - This type of policy guarantees a fixed death benefit and an investment account. The cash value of the investment account will vary depending on the portfolio's performance.
• Variable Universal Life Insurance - Provides the most flexibility when it comes to investing the cash value of a universal life policy in separate accounts with "variable" values.

• Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance - These policies offer a cash death benefit to the beneficiary. All coverage applications are approved regardless of health concerns. The catch is these policies usually have lower death benefits and higher than normal premiums.
