Common Queries & FAQ’s

What is Life Cover?

Life cover, also known as life insurance, provides a lump sum payment to your family or beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy term. This can help cover outstanding debts, living expenses, or help provide financial security for your loved ones.

Why do I need Life Cover?

Life cover ensures that your family is financially protected in the event of your death. It can help pay off a mortgage, cover daily expenses, fund children’s education, or provide general financial support.

How much Life Cover do I need?

The amount of cover you need depends on factors such as your income, outstanding debts (like a mortgage), dependents, and future financial needs. Our advisors can help you assess the right amount of cover.

What types of Life Cover are available?

We offer several types of life insurance, including:

  • Term Life Insurance – Covers you for a set period
  • Whole of Life Insurance – Provides lifelong cover
  • Mortgage Protection – Designed to clear your mortgage if you pass away
  • Serious Illness Cover – Pays a lump sum if diagnosed with a specified serious illness.

 

What is the difference between Mortgage Protection and Life Insurance?

Mortgage Protection is a type of life cover that decreases over time as your mortgage balance reduces. Life insurance, on the other hand, provides a fixed lump sum to your beneficiaries, regardless of the mortgage balance.

How much does Life Cover cost?

The cost depends on several factors, including age, health, lifestyle, the level of cover, and the policy type. Our advisors can provide a tailored quote based on your needs.

Can I add Serious Illness Cover to my policy?

Yes, you can add Serious Illness Cover to your life insurance policy. This provides a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a serious illness covered by your policy, helping with medical costs or loss of income.

What happens if I stop paying my premiums?

If you stop paying your premiums, your life cover will typically lapse, and you will no longer be insured. It’s important to maintain payments to ensure continuous cover.

Is Life Cover subject to tax?

In Ireland, life insurance benefits are generally paid tax-free. However, inheritance tax may apply if the payout is part of an estate. Speak with a financial advisor for specific tax implications.

How do I apply for Life Cover?

You can apply by speaking with one of our financial advisors. The process includes filling out an application form and answering health and lifestyle questions. This can all be done over Zoom or phone call. In some cases, a medical assessment may be required.
