Family Protection

Coping with bereavement is already a terrible time without thinking of the financial consequences. Providing either a lump sum or regular income for those left behind will enable them to cope with the ongoing financial burden. Correct cover set up in the right way can make sure that, at the very least, the impact can be mitigated and, in a tax-efficient way.

Mortgage Protection

Protecting your home against the financial impact of death, critical or long- term illness is very important and requires the right advice. Plans should be set up in the correct way to ensure that the proceeds are paid quickly and to the right people to make sure the home you have worked hard and paid a lot of money for is cleared on any debt.

Income Protection

Providing a long-term plan to protect your income from illness and disability is important to provide income so that you can continue with monthly outgoings and mortgage payments. Our advisers will assess your needs and explain the many options open to you to keep payments affordable.

Trusts

Our advisers will explain how you and your loved ones will inevitably benefit from writing plans in trust, where appropriate. Avoid probate delays and contested Wills by making sure that your wishes are carried out and the money gets made available immediately when the policy is paid out.

This can cost nothing more than a few minutes of planning.
