How to protect your family

Everyone loves their family. We want to make sure that if things go wrong they are protected and can still live their lives to the fullest. But the insurance world is a jungle, so to make sure you don’t get bitten here are

4 critical facts about insurance that you MUST know

1.

It’s possible that your insurance isn’t guaranteed. Unless your policy is guaranteed renewable your insurance company could potentially change the insurance terms on you without your permission or simply choose to cancel your coverage after giving you a warning period. If you don’t know whether your insurance policy is guaranteed renewable, then find out. If you don’t it could end up costing you or your family. 

2.

Not all disability cover was created equal. There are a number of forms your disability cover could take. Some will cover if you can’t work in your own job, some if you can’t work in any job. Others you would be hard-pressed to get a claim from regardless of your circumstances. Once again, this is something you NEED to know. If you get it wrong and then become disabled, it’s already too late for you and your family.

3.

You can lock in the cost of your cover. As you get older, your cover normally gets more expensive. But it doesn’t have to be that way. On certain policies, you can elect to lock in a portion or all of the costs through what are known as level premiums. If you intend to hold your insurance for the long term this could save you $10,000s!

4.

The way in which you own your cover can affect your tax. Where you hold your insurance, whether it be in your personal name, superannuation, a company or trust will have an impact on its tax deductibility. It will also have an impact on the manner in which tax is applied to any benefit payments you or your family receive. Explaining this would take volumes so if you want to know more about this take us up on our free consultation offer below.
