Protection Planning and Life Insurance FAQs

Benefits from protection policies are typically tax-free. However, to ensure proceeds are not subject to inheritance tax, it is important to structure policies correctly. For example, writing a life insurance policy in trust can ensure that the payout goes directly to beneficiaries without being part of your estate for inheritance tax purposes.

Continuum Wealth provides expert advice on selecting and setting up protection policies tailored to your needs. Our advisers help you understand your options, structure policies correctly, and integrate protection planning into your overall financial strategy.

Income protection insurance provides a regular income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. It typically covers a percentage of your income and continues to pay out until you can return to work or reach retirement age.

Life insurance provides a financial safety net for your loved ones by paying out a lump sum upon your death. This money can be used to cover living expenses, pay off debts, or meet other financial needs. Term life insurance covers you for a specific period, while whole of life insurance offers lifelong protection.

Common risks include:

  • Policies might not cover all illnesses or conditions.
  • There might be waiting periods before you can claim.
  • If you do not disclose all relevant information when taking out a policy, your claim might be denied.

Wills specify how your assets should be distributed after your death, ensuring your wishes are followed. Powers of attorney allow trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. These documents are crucial for comprehensive protection planning.

Critical illness protection provides a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a specified serious illness. This payment can help cover medical expenses, replace lost income, and support you financially during recovery.

Private medical insurance covers the costs of private medical treatment, giving you quick access to healthcare services and reducing wait times for treatments and procedures.

Protection planning involves setting up financial safeguards to ensure that you and your loved ones are financially secure in case of unexpected events, such as illness, accident, or death. It provides peace of mind and financial stability, helping you maintain your lifestyle and meet obligations even during challenging times.

There are several types of protection plans, including:
