Life Protection Services
The main purpose of Life Assurance is to provide money for you or those people who may depend on you financially, in the event that something should happen to you. These people could include family members or business partners. It can provide the reassurance of financial protection for you, your family and your business associates.
A Life Assurance policy pays out a sum of money when the person who is covered by the plan dies. The money is intended to pay off any outstanding debts and support your dependants financially by providing them with a further lump sum or a regular income if you die.
A Life Assurance policy with critical illness cover pays out a sum of money to the person/people who are covered by the plan should they suffer a critical illness or upon a death. Having a combined critical illness and life insurance policy means that if the policy pays out for a critical illness your life cover will end. It is also possible to have separate critical illness and life cover policies so in the event of a critical illness claim your life cover will not be affected.
A Life Assurance policy with critical illness cover pays out a sum of money to the person/people who are covered by the plan should they suffer a critical illness or to the dependents in the event of death. Once again, the money is intended to pay off any outstanding debts and support you in the event of illness or your dependants financially by providing them with a further lump sum or a regular income in the event of the person/persons covered passing away
Income protection insurance is a type of insurance that can act as a safety net if you become injured or too ill to work. While you are not being paid by your employer, your protection insurance can help ensure you receive a regular income.
Depending on the length of your policy, income protection insurance can cover you until you return to work or reach retirement. However, income protection might not pay out if you are made redundant - to receive this would require you take out a specific type of policy which would cover you becoming unemployed.
Income protection insurance is not the same as payment protection insurance (PPI). While payment protection helps you pay a specific debt, with regular repayments made to the lender, income protection pays you a tax-free portion of your income.
