For many death is not one of the easiest subjects to talk about. But, protection in the event of death is vitally important for many different reasons such as:
- To repay your outstanding mortgage;
- Ensuring your family's future is protected;
- To protect your business or a key employee.
There are various types of policy to consider:
- Level Term: Providing a specific lump sum in the event of death during a specific term;
- Decreasing Term: Providing sufficient capital to repay a capital repayment mortgage in the event of death, during a specific term;
- Family Income Benefit: Provides a regular income from the date of death until the plan ceases -normally when your children have grown up or have reached a certain age which you decide at the outset.
- Whole of Life: A policy that continues for the whole of your life and pays a lump sum on death irrespective of when that occurs.
We can advise on all of the various types of life cover available. Where relevant we will ensure that a suitable trust is also effected so that the proceeds do not form part of your estate upon death.
