Protection

Mortgage Protection

Mortgage protection,  this type of policy is generally only taken out in conjunction with a Capital and Interest Mortgage. It is initially taken out for a specified term and amount. As the name suggests the amount of cover decreases in line with your mortgage balance. This is the most basic and usually the cheapest type of cover you can get.

Specified Serious Illness Cover

Specified serious illness cover pays a benefit on the diagnosis of one of a list of Specified Serious illnesses covered under the policy, the four main ones in Ireland being Cancer, Heart attack, Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis. This valuable benefit can also be taken out in the form of a decreasing policy, a level policy or a convertible policy as outlined above. Serious Illness can be taken out on it’s ow  or it can be added to a life policy.

Personal Life Cover

Personal Life Cover pays out a benefit in the event of the death of the life assured. It will normally be taken out to either cover debts or provide for dependents in unforeseen circumstances. It can be taken out on a Single Life Basis, Joint Life Basis or Dual Life Basis. A Single Life policy is where only one person is covered. Joint and Dual Life policies both offer cover on two people, the difference being that a Joint Life will only pay out once, usually on first death unless otherwise specified, whereas a Dual Life policy provides independent cover for each of the individuals so there is essentially double cover. The cost of Life Cover is based on your age, your smoker status and your health.

Income Protection
