The amounts of cover taken up vary from \u00a360,000 up to \u00a3230,000 depending which Cryonics provider the applicants chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KEY CONSIDERATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the key considerations you may come across when taking life insurance for the purpose of Cryonics preservation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currency fluctuation <\/strong>\u2013 The service providers mentioned above operate in either dollars or euros if they are based in USA or Europe, this means you need to take into account future fluctuations in currency markets when taking out life insurance in UK pound sterling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indexation \u2013<\/strong> The really hot topic of the moment is the effects of inflation on the future values of any policy that you take out.

Trust Documents<\/strong> \u2013 All of the Cryonics providers require that you place your insurance into a trust, which is designed to make certain your wishes are carried out and to protect your interests at the point you become preserved. We are able to advise you on the different trusts required by each Cryonics provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trustees<\/strong> \u2013 You will be required to appoint trustees to carry out your wishes at the point of preservation, these are normally people you \u201ctrust\u201d from within the Cryonics organisations, your family or your group of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
