Personal Protection Insurance

Personal protection insurance offers you various ways to protect yourself and your family should you die, suffer a critical illness or be unable to work due to a long-term accident or illness.

We can help you by reviewing your situation and recommend the best options available to you.

Life Assurance

Life assurance is designed to provide your family with a lump sum should you die during a predetermined period (generally the term of the policy). The lump sum can be used to pay off a mortgage, pay for school and university fees or to ensure your family can live comfortably.

Cover can be level, increasing or decreasing. Level cover will provide a fixed payout throughout the term whereas payouts from decreasing cover will diminish over time, generally used to cover a repayment mortgage or debt. The cover can be set up for as long as you need.

There is no cash-in or surrender value so at the end of the policy term, the cover will lapse without value.

There are other options available which we can discuss with you.

Income Protection Insurance

Income Protection Insurance is designed to provide you and your family with a regular income to replace your earned income if you are unable to work due to a long-term accident or illness.

You decide how long you would like to wait for the cover to be paid out and at what age you want the cover to stop. The shorter the time before cover starts to pay out, the more expensive the premium. Cover can be level or increasing and if you claim, benefits are paid out until the plan expires or you return to work, whichever is earlier. Find out more about Income Protection cover here.
