Life Insurance in Altea — Generali Cover

Life insurance in Spain (seguro de vida) provides your family with a lump-sum payment on your death — protecting your mortgage, covering inheritance tax and ensuring your loved ones are financially secure. As authorised exclusive Generali agents based in Jávea, we arrange life insurance for expats across Altea and the Marina Baixa, Alicante area, with policies available in English from €18/month.

For expats with a Spanish mortgage in Altea, mortgage protection life insurance is almost always required by the lending bank. Rather than taking the bank's own more expensive policy, most clients save €200-€600 per year by arranging an independent policy through us — identical protection, significantly lower premium.

We cover all types of expats in Altea — retired residents, NLV/DNV visa holders, self-employed autónomos and new arrivals. All advice is in English, all documents available in English, and our Jávea office is 25 minutes via AP-7 from Altea.

Life Insurance Altea — Local Considerations

Altea is known for its beautiful whitewashed hilltop old town, vibrant arts scene and upscale coastal lifestyle. It attracts a quieter, more settled expat community than neighbouring Benidorm.

For expats permanently living in Altea, life insurance intersects with two specific considerations: Spanish inheritance tax (ISD) and Spanish mortgage requirements. The Comunidad Valenciana applies a 99% ISD reduction for direct heirs on inheritances up to €100,000. For larger estates, a life insurance policy with correctly-nominated beneficiaries provides a faster, more tax-efficient way to transfer assets. If you have a Spanish mortgage on your Altea property, your bank will require life cover — we provide the required certificate in your bank's preferred format within 48 hours.

If you have a Spanish mortgage on a Altea property, your bank will almost certainly require a life insurance policy as a condition of the loan — typically a decreasing-term policy with the sum assured equal to your outstanding mortgage balance. You are legally entitled to choose your own insurer rather than taking the bank's own policy, which is almost always significantly more expensive. We arrange the policy and provide the required bank certificate within 48 hours.
