Personal & Family Protection
Armstrong Watson can help you protect your family financially if you die. If you are unable to work due to an accident or long-term ill health, we can also help to protect your own future.
The most important thing to most of us is family. It’s not enough to just plan for the future by saving money for events such as retirement or children’s education. We need to protect ourselves against the unthinkable happening to us or our families.
- Official figures show that every year more than 670,000 men
aged between 40 and 67 are absent from work for more than
six months due to long term illness
- An average man under 50 is twice as likely to be off work for
more than six months because of an accident or sickness
than he is to die
- 1 in 20 workers die leaving behind financially dependent
children
- Only 9% have an income protection policy sufficient to cover
their outgoings should they lose their income
Planning for the unexpected
If you suffer a long-term absence from work or premature death, we can advise on solutions that repay your mortgage, provide a lump sum, and provide a regular income for those who are important to you.
To help you assess your own position and the types of solutions which may be appropriate to you, please have a look at our Quickfire Guide.
For further information on the types of cover which are available and how they may be appropriate to you, feel free to browse our Brief Financial Protection Guide.
