Troy's story - trauma insurance - Sovereign - [Video]

With thanks to Troy and family and Sovereign for telling this story.  Troy was a successful chef running a busy kitchen. As Troy said: - "The need for insurance protection is underestimated.

Can you afford it if your beloved pet suddenly gets sick?

This article in the NZ Herald struck at my heart.  On Valentines Day this year, we discovered that my beloved long time friend and companion, Sage (16 years old - 80 in cat years) had collapsed lungs, we think they were filled with lots of tumours.  So, I returned from my client meetings 2 1/2 hours away, spent a last night with him and then the Vet came around on Friday morning and he was put out of his misery. It is hard to explain to people that don't have an animal companion what that fee...

Important - make sure your house insurance is reviewed and updated this year

The major fire and general insurance companies are changing the way that they insure your house. Until late 2012 most home owners had 'replacement' insurance cover. This is changing to insurance cover based on a 'set sum'. It is VITAL that you review your house insurance cover at your anniversary and make sure that you have adequate insurance cover in place. You may have to spend extra money to get an accurate valuation, and when you get that valuation, you may find that the cost of your insura...

This is my personal story too - Adriennes Disability Story [video]

This video is the story of my long time closest friend Adrienne and her disablement.  Adrienne had always had problems with her hips and when she put in place her insurance cover, they were pretty much always excluded.  As the main income earner for her family, we knew that having the best insurance cover for her was vital. We never imagined that she would be unable to work at the peak of her career.  That she would be struck down by illness that had no diagnosis, no cure, no solution.  We ...

Why do smokers pay so much more for insurance cover? - [video]

One of the more enjoyable things that we get to do in our role as insurance advisers, is to tell people how much their insurance premiums have dropped when they can sign a declaration that they have not smoked for 12 months. For some people, the reduction in their premiums can be up to half. It is well known that smoking is a habit and an addiction, and Governments throughout the world are working hard to put in place dis-incentives to smoking, particularly through banning smoking in public pla...
