Advice for a secure future

Three ways to help protect your world
1. Review your protection
How long could your family cope financially if something happened to any of you?
Life insurance, critical illness or income protection can reduce the impact of a shock on the people who have to pick up the pieces.
Protection is not one and done. It needs to be reviewed regularly.
Got life insurance with your work? Check what it pays out and if it’s enough. Plus whether it includes critical illness cover.
2. Protect your legacy
Writing a will means your loved ones know your wishes should something happen to you, and it could give your loved one’s financial security.
Wills should be reviewed regularly, and after any big life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
3. Set up a Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures you are supported by people you trust to manage your financial affairs if you become too sick or disabled. Consider setting up one today, just in case.
