Young people need insurance too

Sue Tierney

My eye was caught by the tragic news story of a new father who died in a freak accident while walking through a park. It’s terribly sad for all concerned. But there was one glimmer of hope – he had taken out insurance to cover the mortgage in the event of his death.

 

Now, at least his grieving young family won’t lose their home.

 

When we’re young we may think we’re immortal – but we’re not. This year, I’ve been able to help a number of clients secure large payouts from their insurance policies. It’s such a relief to know the money will make a real difference during a difficult time.

 

If you or any of your family members have recently got married, bought a house or become a parent, please do keep this in mind.
