Funeral Insurance Plans

Funeral Insurance, I know we don't like to think about dying, but there comes a time where we need to realise that one day, hopefully a long time from now, we will die.

As discussed in previous insurance articles, funerals can be expensive, so what can we do to make sure our family a re protected when I die? Funeral Insurance Plans is one of many steps we can take, these plans allow us to make regular contributions to an insurance company who on our death, will pay out a fast tax free, lump sum payment to your nominated beneficiary.

Your nominated beneficiary is the person you nominate on your Funeral Insurance Plan policy to get the lump sum payout when you die. Generally people make this their next of kin, but you can leave it to anyone. If you decide to leave it to someone under the age of 18, generally you will need to wait for the courts to assign a legal guardian and then the money will be paid to the legal guardian of the person under the age of 18. Most people however choose to leave the money to someone over the age of 18 to avoid tying up and having to wait longer for the money to pay for any funeral expenses.
