Frequently Asked Questions

How much individual cover do I need?

A common approach is to cover outstanding debts (like your mortgage) plus enough to replace your income for your family. Your adviser can help you calculate this.

Can I add my partner later?

Individual policies cover one person. If you want to add your partner, you would typically take out a joint or second individual policy.

What happens if I stop paying premiums?

Your cover will usually lapse if premiums stop, meaning your policy will no longer pay out. Contact your adviser before cancelling if your circumstances change.

Is the payout really tax-free?

Yes, when a policy is correctly written in trust, the payout is generally free of income tax and does not form part of your estate.
