Your family is also an asset you need to cherish
Have you built up an attractive amount of capital and want to avoid it disappearing in inheritance taxes? Inheritance tax insurance or Exclusive Life Cover, provides your heirs with a capital sum with which to pay the estimated inheritance tax liability in the event of your accidental death.
Specifically, you can avoid:
• Unpleasant surprises for your heirs.
• Your heirs still having to pay inheritance tax after an inter-vivos gift via the bank.
How does the compensation work?
In the event of your death due to an insured accident, the beneficiary will receive compensation. The amount of this compensation is specified on the registration form and amounts to a maximum of 1.5 million euros.
Main exclusions:
• Participation in and training for speed races, time-speed distance (TSD) rallies or skills-based competitions.
• Deliberate accidents or accidents caused by gross negligence.
• Accidents caused in a state of inebriation or alcohol intoxication with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 1.5.
Ideal alternative for traditional life insurance
Because this insurance only covers accidental death, it is cheaper than a traditional life policy. That’s useful if you want to be prepared for unexpected events, but have not yet made any definitive arrangements.
