It is important to provide for people who financially depend on you and protection is the best way to do this
The main types of protection are;
Level Term Assurance
Pays out a tax-free lump sum upon death within the policy term and cover can be extended to include critical illness cover and terminal illness cover.
Decreasing Term Assurance – sometimes known as Mortgage Protection
Similar to a term assurance plan but it has a lump sum which reduces each year usually in-line with the amount owing on a repayment mortgage. Any benefit payable is tax-free and again this type of plan can be extended to include critical illness cover and terminal illness cover.
Family Income Assurance
Specifically designed for families with or planning for children. Rather than paying a lump sum it will pay out a regular tax-free income from the date of death until a fixed time in the future. Can also be extended to include critical illness cover and terminal illness cover.
Whole of Life Assurance
Provides life assurance with no specific end date and guarantees to pay out in the event of death, whenever it occurs providing you keep up premium payments. Can also be extended to include critical illness cover and terminal illness cover. Premiums on this type of plan are often reviewable and may increase in the future.
Critical Illness Cover
Pays out a tax-free lump sum in the event of you being diagnosed with one of the illnesses covered under the policy. Can be taken out as stand-alone cover or included in one of the life assurance policies listed above.
Income Protection Insurance
Designed to protect you from loss of income in the event of you being unable to work long-term due to illness or accident. Can protect normally up to 50% of your income, tax-free, in addition to any state benefit payments you are entitled to.
Existing Plans
If you already have one or more protection insurance policies and would like us to review them, please contact us so we can assess them for value for money, to find out if they provide too much or too little coverage, whether they are appropriate and whether the sums assured should be placed into trust.
