Compare Life Insurance Policies

You never know when life will put you or your family in a situation that requires the need to have comprehensive life cover available. Whether it’s critical illness or injury, neither of them makes life easy. In fact, these can be the most stressful and overwhelming experiences for your family when you lose a loved one. The last thing you want to have happened is that your family struggles to make ends meet or recover after a tragic loss of life.

Life Insurance provides your family with a lump sum payment that coincides with your trauma coverage. How does this work? For instance, if you get a $500k life cover policy, there may be a $200k trauma cover policy within that coverage. So if you were to get cancer, your family would be paid the $200k, and then in the event of your untimely death, the remaining $300k is paid out. Life insurance helps take care of any financial burden that impacts your family, allowing them to focus on building their life ahead.

With life insurance, you’re able to use the funds to cover whatever expenses you deem necessary. There are no requirements on what the money paid out is allocated for. Compare now and get started.

How does Life Insurance Work?

Life insurance is always a lump sum pay-out upon the death of a policy holder. People mainly get Life Cover when they have dependants or in a business situation you may have mutual business debt and should one of the partners die then a lump sum is either paid directly to the surviving shareholder(s) / Directors to enable the business to keep going. This is normally part of a business share holder agreement. Most couples these days when they take on debt eg: a Mortgage they will get Life Insurance as a minimum to cover the debt and leave funds for the surviving person or their kids.

With Life insurance you can have another person as the owner, when this happens the pay-out will go to that person only as the insurance company sees them as the owner not the person that passed away. When you do get Life insurance is important you have some WILL documentation that nominates how the assets and any cash will be disturbed. Often when a life policy is paid out there’s a significant amount of cash at stake and the last thing you want is to deal with a fight over who the money belongs to. This is very apparent with blended families, so if this is you, make sure you seek legal advice.
