Family Income Protection

A replacement for your salary to financially protect your family should the worst happen

What is Family Income Protection

You may think that Family Income Protection is the same as Income Protection, but don’t let the similar titles fool you.

Family Income Protection provides protection for your family in the event of your death, by replacing the salary that you were receiving and paying it to your family in monthly/yearly payments until the policy expires.

How does Family Income Protection work?

Family Income Protection works whereby you pay a monthly premium and in the event of your death, your insurer will pay your beneficiary an income in place of your salary until your policy runs out.

This means, for example, if you take a 30-year policy and pass away 10 years into the policy, then your family/beneficiary will receive payments for the next 20 years.

The premiums on Family Income Protection are either ‘Guaranteed’ or ‘Reviewable’.

‘Guaranteed’ will ensure that the premium will stay fixed for the length of the policy, whereas ‘Reviewable’ means that the premiums will be reviewed by the insurer, usually around every 5 to 10 years and are adjusted.

What our customers say

  • “Amy has been a wonderful support as we look at getting our first mortgage for a renovation. She has explained everything with a wealth of experience behind her and in terms that even I can understand! We feel incredibly comfortable making such an important decision with Amy to advise and guide us; we couldn’t ask for any more patience and knowledge from this lovely lady. Would always recommend, without hesitation.”

    R. Longley

  • “Fantastic help and advice from day one! Within a few minutes of meeting Dan for the first time both myself and my partner felt at ease and have never felt pressured which is so important, especially when making one of the biggest purchases of our lifetime. Would thoroughly recommend Dan to anyone and definitely those who are a first-time buyer as every step and process is well explained and any questions are always answered promptly with honesty.”

    J. Humphries

  • “When we were just about at our wit’s end with the process of getting our first mortgage, Amy quite literally saved the day (and our sanity!) She was professional, calm and thorough. Fantastic communication throughout the whole process, she managed to secure us a fantastic rate and explained everything to us every step of the way. A genuinely lovely lady, cannot recommend enough.”

    C. Charters

  • “Lisa was recommended to me by a friend and she did not disappoint, fantastic from start to finish. I found a house I wanted to make an offer on, emailed Lisa at 9 pm on a Sunday (not expecting a reply till the following morning) and I had a mortgage in principle by 10 pm the same night. Lisa was always on the ball even through COVID. I honestly can't thank her enough for all her help and will definitely be recommending her to people in the future.”
