What is Life Insurance?
Life Insurance pays a lump sum of money if you pass away or become terminally ill. It is designed to help your family pay costs that you would have helped with if you were still alive.
Most people use Life Insurance for:
- Covering funeral expenses
- Providing funds to their family after they've gone
- Clearing debt such as credit card, personal loans, mortgage
- Paying for childcare support if the person who passed away was the primary caregiver
- Providing future financial support for their children
- Some people who are terminally ill choose to access a portion of their life insurance to help with the cost of treatment or to tick experiences off their bucket list
Life Insurance benefits
Optional benefits you can choose to include:

Frequently asked questions
How much life insurance do I need?
How much you'll need if something happens isn't always obvious. Your adviser will work with you to uncover both the obvious and the hidden needs that crop up, so you can decide what your priorities are and how much you'll need.
Who gets the money should I die?
Generally, the person who owns the insurance policy or their nominated beneficiary will get the money. A financial adviser can help you make sure the money goes to the people you want to receive it, without any hiccups.
