Why family protection matters

Family protection ensures that in the event of illness, injury, or your passing, your loved ones have the financial resources to maintain their lifestyle. It works hand-in-hand with your will — which outlines how assets are distributed — and your LPA — which allows trusted individuals to manage affairs if you're unable to. Together, they provide comprehensive peace of mind, preventing financial hardship and preserving your legacy.

Life Insurance (Death in Service)

Provides a lump sum payout to your family upon your death, helping cover immediate expenses like mortgages, debts, or daily living costs. This integrates with your will to ensure the funds are used as you intend, supporting guardians named for children.

  • Term assurance for cost-effective cover over a set period
  • Whole of life for guaranteed payout whenever it occurs
  • Written in trust to avoid delays and probate

Income Protection

If you're unable to work due to illness or injury, this replaces a portion of your income, protecting your family's stability. It aligns with your LPA's financial affairs provisions, allowing attorneys to access funds smoothly during recovery.

  • Tax-free benefits paid until recovery or retirement
  • Customizable deferral periods to suit your savings
  • Whole-of-market options for best fit

Critical Illness Cover

A tax-free lump sum if diagnosed with a specified serious illness, giving your family breathing room for treatment and recovery costs. This enhances your will's asset protection and LPA's health decisions, ensuring holistic care.

  • Cover for cancer, heart attack, stroke, and more
  • Options for children and joint policies
  • Decreasing cover to match mortgage balances

How it ties into your planning

Protection isn't standalone — it's the financial backbone of your estate plan. A well-drafted will directs how protection payouts are used, while an LPA ensures decisions can be made swiftly if needed. We review your existing setup and recommend tailored solutions via Pensionhelp Limited.
