We began by exploring the key risks facing the family, including the financial impact of critical illness, loss of income, or premature death. We introduced a range of solutions tailored to their situation:
- Life cover to provide a lump sum in the event of death
- Income protection to replace lost earnings during illness or injury
- Critical illness cover for serious health conditions
- Family Income Benefit as an affordable way to provide ongoing financial support for the children
We carefully explained how each option worked in practice, helping John and Sarah understand their choices without overwhelming them.
