Hands up who’s feeling undervalued?

• When protecting your family it pays to put yourself first
• Over half the stay at home parents in the UK, do not have life assurance

The impact of the death of a parent or suffering a Severe Illness;

• Alterations to the home or move to a home with no stairs (for example)
• Childcare costs required
• Education costs not being met
• Lifestyle being denigrated (holidays, technology, housing)

 

The important things often overlooked

• Why just cover the mortgage – how will you cope with the loss of the income
• What about recovery – having additional income covered means the pressure to return to work or find a job is taken care of
• Long-term cover for children’s needs – education costs – college – Uni

Trusts

Many couples no longer marry or enter into Civil partnerships. If you have life assurance, it will pay to your estate, thereby INCREASING your IHT liability

A Trusts will hold monies for your children until they are old enough to recieve it.  If your partner remarries, without a Trust in place, payouts could form part of their assets

What is the right amount?

Well, let’s start with the WRONG amount – Zero!

Someone once said that they had no life insurance, because they wanted their death to be a real tragedy!

• Make sure your debts are repaid
• Make sure an amount of income is replaced either medium-term or long-term
• Provide for your children’s future costs

This is the basics, from there we can help you create a structured protection plan, that is reviewed and revised as and when relevant

 

Business Protection

Owners of small businesses, family businesses and share holders are the worst at protecting themselves and their business

Have you considered the following;

• How are the business shares valued on the death of a shareholder
• Do you want to have your business partner’s spouse, children or family as business partners
• Do you give other shareholders and Directors first option to buy the deceased’s family out
• How will you replacelost income from a senior Director’s death – will you need to employ a replacement

So many businesses do not have an agreement in place that dictates and is agreed by each shareholder as to how the shares will be valued and distributed

All it often takes is a meeting to discuss, agree and then insure the liability through the company
