A protection review

Understand the financial gap before choosing cover.

What would happen to the mortgage if your income stopped? How long could savings cover essential costs? What support already exists through work?

Rahul will review those questions, any existing policies, your priorities and your budget before making a recommendation.

Frequently asked

Questions about protection advice.

Policy terms and underwriting depend on the insurer and the individual application.

When should protection be reviewed?

A new mortgage, home move, change of job, marriage, separation, a new child or a material change in income may be a good time to review your cover. Existing cover should be considered before anything is replaced.

Will a policy always pay a claim?

No. A claim depends on the policy remaining in force and meeting its definitions, terms and exclusions. Rahul will explain the relevant policy details before you decide.

What information will an insurer request?

This depends on the cover and applicant. Questions may include health, occupation, lifestyle, finances and existing cover. You must take reasonable care to answer fully and accurately.

How is RG Financial paid for protection advice?

Before any application is made, Rahul will explain in writing whether RG Financial will receive commission from the insurer and whether you will pay a separate fee.
