Mark's income protection Story.

Mark was driving home from work his car was hit by another and he was killed instantly. Jan was absolutely devastated. Mark was only 35 years old.

Mark and Jan had always dreamt of bringing up their children in the country. 4 years after they were married they decided to move out of the city and found a great block of land. As the children were young they had the time to enjoy the country air and a small country primary school was only down the road. They took out a large mortgage, built their dream home, reviewed their life insurance cover and life was great. Sadly one night as Mark was driving home from work his car was hit by another and he was killed instantly. Jan was absolutely devastated. Mark was only 35 years old.

You never think these things will happen to you. Thankfully the life insurance policy taken out a few years earlier helped to pay out the mortgage and had adequate funds left over to invest, so that Jan did not need to go to work to cover the ongoing everyday family living costs. Jan could stay at home to be with the children.

The above story is an illustration of life insurance in practice. While it is not a real case, some details are based on a true case. This information is also general information only and policies vary depending on the company and benefits chosen at time of application.
