INCOME PROTECTION AND LIFE INSURANCE

While most people have insurance for their car or home, many overlook the importance of protecting one’s most important asset – the ability to earn an income.

Life insurance is a form of protection that provides a financial payment to your dependents in the event of your death or serious illness or injury that prevents you from returning to work.

Types of Life Insurance:

Life Insurance: A lump sum payable upon your death or the diagnosis of a terminal illness.

Income Protection Insurance: Provides a source of income for a temporary or defined period should you become unable to work due to illness or injury.

Trauma Insurance: A lump sum payable upon the diagnosis or occurrence of one of a list of specific illnesses such as cancer, heart attack or stroke.

Total and Permanent Disability Insurance: A lump sum payable if you become disabled and are unable to ever work again.
