Life insurance · Price check

The mortgage does not pause. Neither does the school fee.

Life insurance is not about you. It is about the twelve months after you, and whether the people in your house can keep the life you built.

The mortgage, the school fee and the income that covers them rest on one person.

Nobody thinks about this on a good day, which is why most households either have nothing or have a policy someone sold them a decade ago with a coverage amount nobody can justify. Meanwhile the mortgage, the car payments, the school fee and the income that covers all of it rest on one person showing up to work tomorrow.

Does this sound like your life insurance?

  • You have no life insurance and keep postponing the decision.
  • You have a policy from years ago and no idea whether the amount still fits.
  • The mortgage is in one name and the income in the other.
  • You have a business partner and nothing in writing about the shares.
  • You assumed the employer benefit was enough, without checking the multiple of salary.

The number is arithmetic, not intuition

Income replacement, the mortgage balance, education costs and existing debts added together, minus what is already insured and what is in savings. That is the coverage amount.

Most people guess low, and the guess is usually enough to cover the funeral and not the years that follow.

Term does one job, and it does it cheaply

Term life covers a defined period, usually until the mortgage is gone and the children are grown. It is the least expensive way to cover the risk that actually matters.

Permanent coverage has its place for estate planning and business succession. It should be a decision, not a default.

The coverage amount is arithmetic: income, mortgage, education, debt.

“You cannot buy this after the diagnosis. That is the entire argument for doing it on an ordinary Tuesday.”

If a business depends on you, the business needs a policy

Key person coverage funds a company through the loss of the person who brings in the revenue. Buy-sell funding makes sure the surviving owner can buy the shares instead of negotiating with a family.

Disability is the other half: the odds of being unable to work for a period are higher than most people assume, and income protection is priced separately.

What we check before we call you back

This is not a form that disappears into a queue. It is a working list an agent goes through with you on the call for life insurance.

  • Coverage amount from income, mortgage, education and debt
  • Term length matched to the years the risk actually runs
  • Whether permanent coverage has a real role in your plan
  • Disability income as the other half of the exposure
  • Key person and buy-sell funding for business owners

A short conversation establishes the number, the term and the monthly cost. No medical exam for many applicants, and no obligation to proceed.
