Debbie Kennedy, protection director at LV=, said: “Life expectancy and working lives have grown and changed rapidly over past decades, leaving many people with mortgages lasting into their seventies, adopting new career paths and working into later life.

“Growing numbers of people aged over 65 continue to need life cover and we believe it’s important that LV= offers financial safety net choices and support that can adapt to reflect these changes in society.”
