When you pass away it takes some time to wind up your estate. During this period (which can be a few months), your beneficiaries may be left without income.

They may be worried about funeral expenses, bond repayments, school fees or other expenses and are reliant upon receiving payment from your life policy.

If the claim is straightforward and the insurer has no reason to decline or fight the claim, then a life policy usually pays out within 3 weeks -6 weeks. However, there are instances that can cause an insurer to delay the paying out of a claim.
