ProtectingYour Family

Protection can often be overlooked, but Life Insurance and critical illness cover empower you to safeguard your family's financial security if the worst happens.

Beyond the financial practicalities, life insurance ensures that your family can maintain its quality of life in your illness or absence. This means continuing to live in the home you built, providing the education your children deserve, and covering everyday expenses.

 

Life insurance is part of your legacy. It is not just about protecting wealth but preserving what you have built throughout your life and career.

When choosing a life insurance and critical illness policy, paying close attention to your requirements is vital to ensure you get the right approach. The Shorts team can help you achieve this.

 

What do I need to protect?

Gathering all the correct details together before obtaining a Life Insurance quote is important. We will analyse your financial position and highlight any areas that should be covered by financial protection to ensure a robust financial plan for you and your family. These may include an outstanding mortgage, personal loan, or Inheritance Tax liability, among others

How much cover will I need?

When we have analysed your details, we will calculate the amount of cover you need; that is, how much will be paid out in the event of critical illness or death. This is determined by many factors including:

  • Your Outstanding mortgages and other liabilities
  • Your family’s current lifestyle expenditure including regular bills, childcare costs, and savings plans.
  • Anticipated future expenditure such as school and university fees.
  • Any anticipated Inheritance Tax liability

 

How long will I need life cover for?

You may not need life cover for your entire life. When selecting a Life Insurance or critical illness policy, we will consider such aspects as when your mortgage is due to be repaid in full, when your dependents might leave home, or when your partner might wish to retire. All these can impact how much coverage you will need and how long you need it.

Critical Illness Cover

This cover pays out a lump sum to you if you are diagnosed with a specified “critical illness”. These are generally severe conditions like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. It is very important that you select a critical illness policy with the right features, terms and cover levels for you and your family. Our team can help you find the most suitable available.
