About Legal & General
Legal & General (L&G) is a long-established UK financial services group founded in 1836. It offers a range of individual protection products to UK customers, available directly and through financial advisers and brokers.
Its protection range covers life insurance, decreasing (mortgage-aligned) cover, over-50s life cover, critical illness cover and income protection. Features such as terminal illness cover and children's critical illness cover may be included within certain products.
The cover L&G can offer, the terms and the premium depend on the information provided during the application and the outcome of underwriting, which is assessed on an individual basis.
