What Is a Protection Policy?

Protection insurance is an generic term typically used to describe various types of insurances which could provide cover for you and your loved ones in the event of your death or illness. These insurance polices may be better know as life insurance, income protection and critical illness insurance.
 
Insurance gives you peace of mind that in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as unemployment and illness, your dependents have the necessary financial protection in place. It is important to consider what kind of protection you might need and to review this on a regular basis.

PROTECTING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Its important to ensure you have the peace of mind that you have considered your protection needs should the worst happen.

You cannot know what’s around the corner for your health, but you can make sure you and your loved ones are prepared financially.

How would your family survive if the worst happened and you died tomorrow?

 

It’s a tough question, but it’s a good question to ask when you are taking out a large debt against your home. Often, people leave it too late to ensure that their home and family would be protected against the risk of death, and can leave more than just emotional pain behind.

What you must tell your insurer before you take out protection insurance

You must give your insurer full details of you and your family’s medical history. If you leave anything out and then later try to make a claim, your insurer may refuse to pay out.

If you already have a pre-existing medical condition, look for an insurer that will be prepared to cover it, although you may have to pay more to take out the policy. A pre-existing medical condition is one you’ve had before.

You should also tell the insurers if you take part in any dangerous hobbies or have a lifestyle that includes smoking, heavy drinking or drug taking. If you don’t tell them about something which later affects your claim, they may refuse to pay out on the policy.

Its important to make sure you have a protection insurance policy which fits your individual needs. We work with insurers from across the market to find the most suitable insurance policies to match your insurance needs.
