A. Aegon will allow you to split your joint life policy into two single life policies providing that you choose to do so before either of the people covered by the policy reaches the age of 71.
They may also allow you to split your policy without giving any more medical details depending on your general medical history. Aegon will tell you on your policy whether you are able to do this.
A. Children of policyholder with Critical Illness Cover will be covered under the policy while they are between the ages of 30 days old and 18 years old. However, this cover can carry on until they reach their 21st birthday providing they are in full-time education during this time.
