Life Cover
There are two very simple questions you should ask yourself to find out if you need some sort of life cover. The first is 'Who would be financially disadvantaged if I die?' and the second is 'What would happen if i was too ill to work for a prolonged period of time'?
If you are single, with no partner or no dependants, then you might not need life insurance at all. You may however want to consider cover so that you are protected against critical illness, which can mean a long term layoff from work.
If there are people close to you who would feel the financial hardship of your premature death, then you should insure your life. You wouldn't want to leave your loved ones with a mortgage to pay and the loss of your income.
Life insurance can protect you against your death during a specified period of time. The insurance policy pays out a tax free lump sum when your family present the insurance policy document and your death certificate to the Insurance Company. Quotes4Charity CIC will assist in processing any claim at such a stressful time.
Critical illness insurance can protect you against suffering a specified critical illness during a specified period of time. The insurance policy pays out a tax free lump sum when you have been diagnosed by a doctor and the diagnosis verified by the Insurance Company.
How much Life Insurance or Critical Illness Cover should I have?
This depends entirely on your personal circumstances at the time you decide
to insure yourself. Your age, your dependants, their ages, your financial commitments, the benefits your employer provides for you. As your life circumstances change, your life insurance and critical illness cover needs change too. A new baby, a marriage, a divorce or a job change are all major changes to your circumstances.
