Protection

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a crucial form of financial protection intended to provide a sum of money to your beneficiaries upon your death. The fundamental aim of life insurance is to provide financial security to your loved ones, enabling them to navigate the economic challenges stemming from the loss of someone upon whose income you are reliant to meet your mortgage payments or maintain your lifestyle.

In the UK, diverse types of life insurance policies are available, including term life insurance, whole-of-life insurance, and decreasing-term life insurance. Our recommendation, which ensures you have the most fitting policy for your needs, hinges on your specific circumstances and preferences.

Term life insurance provides cover for a fixed amount over a fixed duration, typically spanning from 10 to 40 years. In the event of your death during the policy term, your beneficiaries receive a lump sum payment. If you outlive the term, the policy ends without any payout.

Decreasing-term life insurance is frequently used to safeguard mortgages or loans by providing a payout upon the death or diagnosis of a terminal illness of the life insured. The amount you will receive reduces over time, in line with your mortgage balance. This type of policy, while often the cheapest option, may not be the most suitable for your long-term needs.

At Evolution Private Finance, we are adept at assisting you in identifying the optimal life insurance policy that is aligned with your individual requirements and financial considerations. We invest the time to understand your distinct situation and recommend the most suitable options available to you.

Family Income Benefit

Family Income Benefit (FIB), also known as family income protection, provides a regular tax-free income to your family if you die during the term of the policy. This can be particularly helpful as the income your beneficiaries will receive can cover ongoing bills and mortgage payments.

FIB operates in much the same way as other types of life insurance, and we will recommend the right amount needed to maintain your family’s financial stability. Together, we will decide on the amount you want your loved ones to receive and the duration of coverage, usually considering the financial independence of your children up to university age. Although it is possible to arrange this cover to provide an annual lump sum, usually, providing a monthly income to replace your earnings is the priority.

In the event of your death, your loved ones will inform the insurer and provide a copy of your death certificate. The claim will be assessed, and the insurer will, in the event of a valid claim, start making payments for the rest of your policy term.

These regular payments can assist your loved ones to maintain their current lifestyle after your death. Most people want to ensure their loved ones do not lose their home. Repaying the mortgage through the use of a lump sum life policy will not solve the problems of maintaining the ongoing financial costs of your home; FIB is designed for this purpose and may help avoid having to move to control expenditure following the loss of your income and spare them from having to make significant changes while grieving your loss.

If you outlive your policy term, no payout will be issued, and your policy will simply end.

Critical Illness

Critical illness cover is a form of insurance designed to provide a tax-free lump sum in the event of a diagnosis of a critical illness. Usually, conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and cancer spring to mind when we think of a critical illness; however, the illnesses covered may extend far beyond this and could include kidney failure, liver failure, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Typically, it provides a lump sum payout, although it is possible to provide an annual or monthly sum to assist with various expenses, including medical bills, mortgage payments, and other living costs if you are diagnosed with a critical illness during the policy term and which meets the policy conditions.

The amount of cover recommended depends on your individual circumstances. We will consider factors like income, expenses, financial dependents and outstanding debts or mortgages. Evaluating the potential impact on your financial stability and meeting obligations during a critical illness is of utmost importance.
