Like it or hate it, insurances are a necessary part of life. Given the risks involved when owning a house, driving a car, playing sport or running a business, insurance is the mechanism for protecting your financial interests against loss or damage. Just as people insure their material possessions, there is nothing more valuable than life itself and the income needed to live life.
When assessing the level of cover required, consideration must be given to such factors as (this list is not exhaustive):
• Level of income
• Income needs and desired lifestyle
• Large expenses – private school fees
• Other ongoing childcare costs
• Investment Assets
• Debts – mortgages, credit cards, etc
• Cost of refitting a house to accommodate a wheelchair
