questions

This is a type of insurance policy designed to provide financial protection to individuals and their families in the event of death or diagnosis of a serious illness. See below table for the various types of cover available. 
  • To protect your family and dependents
  • Peace of mind in the event of illness or death
  • To cover mortgage, funeral expenses, debt, loans, child care etc. 

If you have life insurance and pass away, your beneficiaries will receive the policy's death benefit. They can use the money to pay off debt, cover your funeral expenses, and pay for their living costs.

You can still get life insurance if you have a medical condition, but life insurance companies will check your medical records and modify your life insurance rates accordingly.

To discuss your options in more detail, please get in touch and we would be more than happy to help you.
