Many people “are running around uninsured” as a result of neglecting to change their insurance policies to reflect changes in their circumstances, says an industry expert. 
Life Direct said it is “extremely important” for people to review their life insurance policy whenever their circumstances change.
Keiran Platt, director and financial adviser at the broker, said that people should not be put off by looking at life cover options, as it need not be that expensive.
He said: “The cost of life cover has been reducing a lot over the last few years – so it may be that they can cover their new circumstances and not be paying much more.”
Mr Platt added that a lot of people cover their mortgage but do not think about protecting their family as well.
According to estimates from the Association of British Insurers, one in three Britons maybe underinsured as a result of not renewing their life insurance cover in five years.
