LIFE COVER

ProtectionProtection needs fall under 3 main categories: -
  • Life cover
  • Income protection
  • Specified Illness cover

    LIFE COVER : There are different forms of Life cover. The main ones being :
    Mortgage protection :
    The cheapest form of Life cover, as the amount of cover reduces as your Mortgage reduces.
    Term cover :
    Where you arrange cover for a fixed term such as 20 years.
    Whole of Life :
    Is the most expensive form of Life cover, as ultimately the policy will pay out.

    The cost of Life cover is much lower now than a few years ago - so it is worthwhile having all existing policies checked to establish whether you can arrange a replacement policy at a lower premium today. We are happy to provide this service to you.

    INCOME PROTECTION :
  • Have you ever wondered what would happen to you and your family in the event of a long term Illness or Accident ? How long will your employer pay you ? If self employed , will you have any Income coming in ?
  • Income protection provides you with an Income in the event of you being unable to work due to Illness or Accident - normally up to your chosen retirement date. Premiums are deductible for tax purposes (up to 10% of Income).
    If you can afford this form of cover it is recommended - most people don't have it.

    SPECIFIED ILLNESS COVER :
    Provides a lump sum on diagnosis with certain types of Illness such as Heart disease and invasive cancer.
    It can assist at a time of hardship and when Income may be disrupted, but increased bills coming in.
