The outbreak of the coronavirus may mean you have <strong>concerns about your life insurance and whether you\u2019re covered.<\/strong> If you have <strong>life insurance<\/strong> to provide for those left behind, or to <strong>cover business loans <\/strong>after your death<strong>, it\u2019s important to keep paying the premiums, even if you\u2019re tempted to put it on hold to cut costs.<\/strong> You could lose your cover and may struggle to find the same level of cover if you start another policy later on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>FULL REPLACEMENT VALUE<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For many of us, projecting ourselves into the future to see what\u2018s around the next bend is not an easy thing to do. However, without thinking, we insure our cars, homes and even our mobile phones \u2013 <strong>so it goes without saying that you should also be insured for your full replacement value to ensure that your loved ones and business are financially catered for in the event of your unexpected death.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Making sure that you have the correct type and level of life insurance in place will help you to financially protect them. Life insurance provides a safety net<\/strong>. Ultimately, it offers reassurance that your family and business would be protected financially should the worst happen. We never know what life has in store for us, as we\u2019ve seen in recent weeks with the outbreak of COVID-19, so it\u2019s important to get the right life insurance policy. <strong>A good place to start is asking yourself three questions: What do I need to protect? How much cover do I need? How long will I need the cover for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>ASK YOURSELF<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Who are your financial dependents \u2013 your husband or wife, registered civil partner, children, brother, sister, or parents?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What kind of financial support does your family have now?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What kind of financial support will your family need in the future?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What kind of costs will need to be covered, such as household bills, living expenses, mortgage payments, educational costs, debts or loans, or funeral costs?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What amount of outstanding business loans do I have now?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>FINANCIAL SAFETY NET<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It may be the case that not everyone needs life insurance. <strong>However, if your spouse and children, partner or other relatives, or business depend on you to cover the mortgage, other living and lifestyle expenses, or business loans, then it will be something you should consider.<\/strong> Putting in place the correct level of life insurance will make sure they&#8217;re taken care of financially. <strong>That&#8217;s why obtaining the right professional financial advice and knowing which products to choose \u2013 including the most suitable sum assured, premium, terms and payment provisions \u2013 is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the amount of cover \u2013 as well as how long it lasts for \u2013 will vary from person to person.<\/strong> Even if you consider that currently, you have sufficient life insurance, you may probably need more later on if your circumstances change. If you don\u2019t update your policy as key events happen throughout your life, you may risk being seriously under-insured. As you reach different stages in your life, the need for protection will inevitably change. <strong>How much life insurance you need really depends on your circumstances \u2013 for example, whether you have a mortgage, you\u2019re single or have children, or you have business loans that you are liable to pay.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>DON\u2019T LEAVE IT TO CHANCE<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since the outbreak of COVID-19, some insurers are restricting cover for new applicants and have introduced new questions to their application forms. This has been done in order to establish and manage the insurance risks it poses. <strong>Planning for a time when you\u2019re no longer around may seem daunting, but it doesn\u2019t have to be.<\/strong> Don\u2019t leave it to chance \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster-wealth.com\/contact\">speak to us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spanish.en-desarrollo.net\/single-member\/?userid=554\"><strong>Westminster Wealth Management LLP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email: banty.bhojraj@westminster-wealth.com<br \/>\n<strong>Website:\u00a0http:\/\/www.westminster-wealth.com\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLOG WRITTEN BY Westminster Wealth Management LLP &nbsp; Protection &nbsp; Understandably, we would rather not think of the time when we&#8217;re no longer around, but this crisis has highlighted the importance of protecting the things that really matter \u2013 like our loved ones, home, lifestyle and business \u2013 in case the unexpected happens.
