Finacial Advisors say Life Insurance Is Critical

What would happen to your family if you were no longer around to support them? Once you have a mortgage to pay, life insurance comes to your notice and most people arrange some cover at this time. This should be increased as other events occur in your life - the arrival of children, trading up to a bigger property or even a second home. But there's another form of insurance, which doesn't only pay out on your death - and that's critical illness cover.

Whilst the family would be devastated in the event of your death, adequate life insurance would ensure that they would be financially sound and free of worries on that count. However things could be very different if you were suddenly to find yourself unable to carry on working and earning money because of a serious illness. Are you confident that you could cope in these circumstances? If not, critical illness cover could give you some peace of mind.

Critical Illness Cover means that if you're, unfortunately, diagnosed with an illness which is classified as critical, something like cancer for instance, you will receive a lump sum payment, free of tax. This can be used for anything you choose. You may need to make adaptations to your home or car, for child care or domestic assistance or to get right on top of your bills or add to your nest egg. Anything you like.

The actual illnesses for which you're covered vary with each insurer, but the basics of cancer, heart attacks and strokes are covered by all of them. That being said, some of the cancers, such as non-invasive skin cancer, are not considered critical. You should study the list of illnesses for the insurers that you are considering and make sure that you're happy about the range of cover that's included.

There will be some exclusion to the policy and again these will vary between critical illness providers. Usually one of the main exclusions will be the consequences of HIV/AIDS, drug abuse or injuries which are self inflicted. Insurers are not happy if you've neglected to take or follow medical advice about anything that could help with your recovery, causing repercussions.

When you take out a critical illness policy the underwriters for the insurance company will have made an assessment of your lifestyle based on answers to questions on the proposal form and the fact that you're based in the UK. Moving to another country could have an effect on your cover and this should be checked with the insurer.

Don't neglect critical illness cover. The results of a recent survey show that millions of us would be in a very poor financial position if critical illness should strike. It's a fact that only ten percent of people have critical illness cover in place. It's a startling fact that over 80,000 men die as a result of cancer every year. At the same time, over 50,000 men die from diseases of the heart and over 21,000 die as the result of a stroke.

Given these facts, it's obvious that critical illness insurance cover should be considered alongside your life insurance. This will give your family the financial protection, which they need to be able to continue with their current lifestyle, in the event of your critical illness or death.
