Do I need Life Insurance?
Taking out Life insurance is an important personal decision. If you have dependents and a family often the passing of a spouse or partner can significantly impact on the finances of the surviving spouse / partner.
Life insurance is a cost effective way of maintaining lifestyle and ensuring family members have financial stability during that difficult time. Often funeral costs are left to family members to pay if no Life insurance is in place. This can be a difficult cost to find at short notice.
Key Questions to ask yourself to see if you require life insurance are:
- How would my partner or spouse cope financially in the event of my death?
- Who and how would they pay for my funeral if I was to pass away?
- Do I have any loans or short term debt that would be left behind?
- If I passed away would I like to leave my children a lump sum?
- Am I the significant income earner in my home, if so how do my family survive financially if I die?
Your Key Options
1. Choose your level of cover
This could be calculated as a multiple of salary or the level of loan you have outstanding. Sometimes your budget dictates your level of cover so we can get you as much cover as we can for your specific budget.
2. Choose your Term of cover
This is often set to retirement age, average life expectancy or perhaps taking your youngest child to 21. A convertible option can extend the term of your initial policy if you decide you want cover for longer.
3. Level or decreasing, Joint or Dual cover?
Level life insurance has a fixed level of cover that remains level for the term. Decreasing cover is cover that reduces from the initial level as the term passes, normally used to cover a reducing loan such as a mortgage. Dual cover covers two people independently and can pay out twice ( Double cover). Joint cover covers two people but only for one pay out and is sometimes called (joint life first death only).
