Year on year we are personally seeing more people suffer with cancer and other illnesses and are unfortunately having to make a claim on their policy. But that is what your protection is there for- to ensure that you and your loved ones are not financially disadvantaged should something unexpected happen. In addition to arranging your protection, we will talk to you about whether it is suitable to place your life insurance into ‘trust’. In doing so, it can ensure that the money is paid to the right people straightaway so that there is no financial vulnerability for your loved ones. We will help you to put the policy into trust, if it is appropriate to do so.
