What is life cover and why is it important?

Life cover provides a lump-sum payment to your beneficiaries if you pass away. It can help your family pay off debts, cover living expenses, fund education costs, and maintain financial stability during a difficult time.

How much life cover do I need?

The right amount depends on your income, debts, dependants, future financial obligations, and existing assets. We calculate a personalised cover requirement based on your specific circumstances.

What is the difference between life cover and disability cover?

Life cover pays out on death, while disability cover provides financial support if you become permanently or temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury.

What is income protection cover?

Income protection pays a monthly benefit if you are unable to earn an income because of a qualifying illness or disability. It is designed to help replace a portion of your salary while you recover or adjust to a long-term condition.

Can I have life cover through my employer and still need personal cover?

Yes. Employer-provided cover is often limited and may end when you leave the company. Personal cover ensures you have protection that remains aligned with your long-term financial needs.

What factors affect the cost of life insurance?

Premiums are influenced by your age, health, smoking status, occupation, lifestyle, amount of cover, and the type of benefits selected.

Should I review my insurance policies regularly?

Absolutely. Major life events such as marriage, having children, buying property, changing jobs, or starting a business can significantly change your protection needs.

What is financial risk management?

Financial risk management involves identifying potential threats to your financial security and implementing strategies—such as insurance, emergency planning, and investment structuring—to reduce their impact.

Can DWD Financial Planners help me compare insurance options?

Yes. As independent advisors, we can assess different solutions and recommend cover that best matches your needs, budget, and long-term objectives.
