Clear Thinking on Protection & Insurance
Clear, tailored advice to support every stage of your financial journey
Protect what matters, at every stage of your life.
While you are building your future — your career, your home, your family, your wealth — it is just as important to protect everything you are working towards.
Because good planning is not just about growth — it’s about resilience too.
A safety net that grows with you but protection is not one-size-fits-all.
The cover you need at 30 will look very different to what you need at 50 or beyond.
Our experienced advisors throughout the TaxAssist Financial Planning hubs below will help you build a plan that evolves with your life, whether you are:
- Buying your first home
- Starting or growing a family
- Building your career or business
- Planning for retirement or beyond
- Funding an inheritance (IHT) liability
It is all about having the right cover, at the right time, for the right reason and ensuring you put the right protection in place so that if life throws the unexpected your way, you (and your loved ones) are financially secure.
Life insurance provides financial support to your family if the worst were to happen.
Designed to pay out a lump sum in the event of death or terminal illness
Can help repay a mortgage, replace lost income, or support your family’s future
Offers peace of mind that those close to you are looked after.
A serious illness can have both emotional and financial impacts.
Critical illness cover is designed to:
- Pay out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a specified serious condition
- Help cover medical costs, time off work, or lifestyle adjustments
- Reduce financial pressure at an already difficult time
If you are unable to work due to illness or injury, your income could be affected, and income protection can:
- Provide a regular income while you’re off work
- Help you keep up with everyday expenses
- Give you breathing space to recover without financial stress
- Instead of a one-off payment, this type of cover:
- Pays a regular income to your family if you pass away
- Helps replace lost earnings over time
- Can support day-to-day living costs, childcare, and education
For many people, their home is their biggest financial commitment.
Mortgage protection can:
- Help repay your mortgage if something happens to you
- Ensure your family can stay in their home
- Provide stability at a difficult time
Some protection planning goes hand-in-hand with your long-term financial and estate plans.
Whole of life policies can:
- Provide a guaranteed payout whenever you pass away
- Be used to help cover Inheritance Tax liabilities
- Support your wider estate planning strategy
Your pension plays a key role in your long-term financial security.
We can help you:
- Ensure your pension is protected in the event of death
- Align protection with your wider retirement planning goals
- Make sure your benefits go to the right people
As covered in your wider financial plan, later-life care can be a significant cost.
Long-term care planning can:
- Help provide financial support if care is needed
- Protect your assets and estate
- Work alongside your estate and inheritance planning
Protection is not something to think about in isolation.
We will help you connect it to your wider financial plan — alongside your pensions and retirement planning, your savings and investments and your estate and inheritance plans, so everything works together, giving you confidence in both the good times — and the uncertain ones.
Peace of mind starts with a conversation
Most types of policies do not have a cash value, unless a valid claim is made.
Critical Illness policies may not cover all definitions of a critical illness, and the scope of coverage may vary from policy to policy.
