What is life insurance? How and when can it help your family? What extra cover options are available? Read on to find out.
Life insurance provides for a lump sum payment to your family if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Life insurance makes it possible for you to look after your family financially in tragic circumstances.
The lump sum payment– which is up to $1.5 million depending on the policy and your age for policies Choosi can arrange direct - can be used to maintain the lifestyle your family is used to. Your family can use it to pay off the mortgage, other debts or help with the day-to-day costs of life.
It doesn't matter whether you are young, middle-aged or heading to retirement, or if you have kids or not: life insurance can have a role to play in your particular circumstances.
The right cover
Choosing life insurance is about determining the level of cover you need and selecting an affordable policy that is right for you.
Your financial commitments can help determine the amount of cover your family needs. Factor in debts like the mortgage, car loans, personal loans and credit card balances, as well as ongoing expenses like property maintenance, council rates, and utilities. It all adds up.
Some policies also allow you to take out a joint policy, insuring both yourself and partner. If your partner is the main provider of domestic duties at home they can still be covered as a homemaker for some policies, although a maximum benefit limit may apply.
Compare, choose and apply
Life insurance can provide the financial support your family needs if you were no longer there to provide for them. Additional cover can protect against specific events including total and permanent disability and serious illness.
