So you’re here because you’re thinking you should do the grown up thing and get some life assurance or something but you haven’t an iota where to start !

Life insurance is mind boggling and confusing and quite frankly boring

Life may be like a box of chocolates. Life insurance should not be .

Know How Much Cover You Need

Often , people underestimate how much life insurance they need. Often only the  major debt, such as a mortgage are  thought about.

But what about everyday  bills, , pay for college tuition or cover any other long-term needs. All very well having the mortgage paid but lets call a spade a spade you cant eat a house !

One rule of thumb is to have a policy with a death benefit equal to at least 10 times your annual salary. But that won’t be possible for everyone as everyone is different  We can help you come up with an amount that suits you and your pocket .

Shop Around for the Best Price

Many insurers make it easy to get quotes and even buy polices online.

While that is great and handy you might think , this is where we come in . We work with several insurance companies and can help you find the best cover at the best price. The computer isn’t going to pick up that even though John and Mary may need €500k life cover they just cant afford it .

This is where an advisor comes in and can tailor make a package to suit you at a price you can afford . Some cover is better than none . It’s not all about the commission you know . Don’t think cheapest is worst or the most expensive is best. All the providers have different strengths and weaknesses just like us . Dave is a tech challenged but makes a great cuppa I on the other hand well can’t make tea to save my life !! 😊

Tell the  Truth on the Application

You’ll be asked questions about your age, weight, personal medical history and mental health, family medical history and smoking habits.

I have lost count the number of times someone has hesitated on an answer and I can see the cogs turning “ should I mention that back pain  or that annoying heartburn “

Yes tell everything let the insurer decide if it’s important or relevant or not, not you !

While there is lots of questions at the application stage this is to ensure at claim stage there isn’t any problem.
