Why choose NN death insurance?
Protection for any cause of death throughout the entire world
Our death cover covers any cause of death: death due to illness, an accident or a sudden death (e.g. due to a stroke or a heart attack). You benefit from worldwide protection (except countries already at war when the insured party travels there).(2)
Instant Protection
There is no delay in the implementation of the main cover. You are immediately covered, even if the death occurs the day after acceptance of the contract by the company and the day after its conclusion.(3)
Lump sum paid within 10 days
As soon as the administrative and medical file has been completed, we pay the lump sum upon death to the beneficiaries appointed by you within a period of on average 10 working days.
Up to 2.5 million euros (or more) in the event of death
We provide extensive cover in the event of death. We can insure you for a lump sum of up to 2.5 million euros (subject to medical and financial acceptance by the company). In excess of this amount, we also offer special solutions which your insurance adviser will be happy to explain to you.
A lump sum for your beneficiaries to use as they wish
Upon your death, your beneficiaries may use the lump sum paid out as they wish. If you take out business director insurance, the business can also use the lump sum as it wishes in order to ensure its continued existence.
A potential tax advantage
As a self-employed person, the premiums are tax-deductible and can be offset against your business as an additional private pension for the self-employed. Do you run a business? In that case, you can protect your dependants and/or the business itself.
