Many UK families are missing out on potential tax-efficient inheritance planning due to a lack of understanding around the difference between life insurance and life assurance, according to national IFA firm Continuum.

Life insurance or โterm insuranceโ is designed to ensure that your dependents receive a lump sum if you were to die prematurely.
