As part of your Mortgage Package you will be asked to take out a Mortgage Protection policy. This policy is put in place to make sure that, if you were to die during the term of your mortgage, any loan remaining would be cleared.
If you have a mortgage on your private dwelling then you should have a Mortgage Protection policy.
If you have a mortgage on an investment property then you don’t have to have a Protection policy in place but we would advise you to take one out. The reason is that your property may not sell straight away if you were to die. Also, if the property was in negative equity, you would leave debt to be repaid by your dependents.

Income Protection is a type of Insurance that pays you a regular income if you can no longer work due to injury or illness.
It’s aim is to replace some of your earned income once any State Benefits are taken into account, so you could still maintain the level of lifestyle you are used to.
If you are in full time employment or you are self-employed and earn an income you can take advantage of an Income Protection Plan.
If you have people who depend on your income or you have debts you need to pay from your income it is important to make sure you are protected if that income was no longer coming into the household.
It is one of your household’s main Financial Planning priorities.
