Yes, you can. Chances are, your family’s finances will suffer in the event of either you or your partner passing. Getting a joint policy will protect your home from either eventuality.

Don't worry - you're not tied into the cover for the life of your mortgage. You can change your cover whenever you like. If you change the amount of your mortgage, just make sure you review your mortgage life cover too as you might be under-protected - or hopefully be able to save a small fortune with a cheaper policy.
