Frequently Asked Questions — Life Insurance in Orihuela

No — pure protection life insurance (seguro de vida temporal) is generally a similar price in Spain to the UK, and sometimes slightly cheaper for non-smokers in good health. The main reasons people in Orihuela choose a Spanish life policy over their UK one are: payout in euros, simpler estate administration for heirs in Spain, and the favourable inheritance-tax treatment available under Spanish law for direct beneficiaries (within the Comunidad Valenciana, Andalucía or the Balearic Islands depending on Orihuela's location).
Yes. Non-resident expats with a Spanish property or mortgage in Orihuela can take out a Spanish life policy — it is a common request when arranging a Spanish mortgage. The policy is written in Spanish (with English summary) and pays out in euros to your nominated beneficiaries. If you become a resident later, the policy carries on unchanged.
Life-insurance payouts to direct beneficiaries (spouse, children) are taxed under the Impuesto sobre Sucesiones rules of the relevant Comunidad Autónoma. Orihuela falls under Vega Baja del Segura, Alicante, where direct-beneficiary rates have improved significantly over the last decade. We can sketch the indicative tax position alongside the life cover and, where it makes sense, structure the policy to give heirs liquidity to pay the tax bill within the six-month deadline.
