Siobhan and her ex husband had life assurance which has lapsed since the separation. She is a part time worker on a salary of €50,000 and thus took out cover of €400,000 over a 20 year term at a cost of €41.82 per month.

Keith

Keith is aged 35 and is a smoker. He has two children under the age of 2, his wife is covered for 10 times her salary through employment and thus, they feel Keith is the only one who needs cover.

Keith is on a salary of €30,000 per year and feels that life cover for €250,000 over a 25 year period at a cost of €36.04 per month is more than adequate.

He decided to take out life assurance cover of €300,000 for a 25 year term period at the cost of €21.05 per month.
