Who Needs Life Insurance?

If you 

  • Are married or in a defacto relationship: Let your family live in the lifestyle they are used to without struggling to meet living costs.

  • Have a mortgage: Who would pay the mortgage if you died?

  • Are a single parent: Who would look after your children financially?

  • Are a stay at home parent: Your partner may have to leave their job to look after the children or pay for child care and a housekeeper.

  • Have adult children and you are debt free: Cover the cost of your funeral.   Let your partner maintain the lifestyle you currently live.  Leave a small inheritance for your children.

  • Have parent(s) that depend on you financially: Insurance would mean that your parents would continue to be looked after if you were to die before them.

  • Are single: Look after children who don't live with you, financially when you die.  Make sure your family isn't left with debt.  Cover the cost of your funeral.

  • Own your own business: If you are the key person in your business your life insurance could be used to repay debt or replace the income lost whilst your business get back on it’s feet without you.

Lump Sum Life Insurance

Life insurance paid out as a lump in the event of your death or terminal illness.  This allows family and dependants to be financially secure in the event of your death.  This may be useful to pay any debt such as your mortgage and funeral costs.  Anything remaining will be paid out according to your Will.

It is important to note that there is a suicide exclusion imposed for the first 13 months of when you commence a policy. 

Monthly Benefit Life Insurance

Life insurance paid out a regular monthly payment in the event of your death or terminal illness for a specified period of time.  This allows family and dependants to be financially secure for several years afterwards in the event of your death.  This may be useful to pay some living expenses, extra childcare costs and a childs education.

You may like to have a mixture of some lump sum life insurance to cover your debts and a monthly benefit life insurance to cover your lost income to your family.

It is important to note that there is a suicide exclusion imposed for the first 13 months of when you commence a policy.

Client Testimonials

"Andre Stokes is nothing short of phenomenal. I had tried to get a home loan on numerous occasions from as many banks, without success, before being introduced to Andre. He made it seem so easy by believing in me and virtually taking me by the hand and walking me through the process in a way that nobody else had bothered to do. My successful entry into the property market, and subsequently into property rental market, is entirely due his guidance and his belief in me."
Allen Elliott, Hamilton
