When you set out to get things like life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection, many people do not think that they are going to hit any snags along the way. But!

This podcast is designed to answer that why. Kathryn Knowles is joined by guests to bring a clear and open chat about how insurance works. Kathryn brings her experience as a "quirky" life and the voice of the consumer to the discussion. She does this alongside her work as a specialist adviser, who is known for insuring the uninsurable.

  1. Executive Income Protection

    第 5 集

    Executive Income Protection

    Hi everyone, I am back with another look at an insurance product that can be incredibly useful, especially for small business owners. Protecting your income is one of the key things that any of us can do, to try and give ourselves financial security for the future. As with any protection insurance it’s something that we hope to never have to claim on, but we will forever be grateful for if we have taken it out. In this episode I am explaining some of the main ways that executive income protection is different to personal income protection, how to explain the benefits of the policy if you get some client objections and a case study to show the potential pricing of the cover. The key takeaways: Executive income protection is available with an employer and employee relationshipCompany Directors taking dividends need to be clearly advised on how the claims process works if they continue to take dividends after becoming too ill to work  A case study of executive income protection Next time I am going to be discussing a topic that could be quite difficult for people to listen to. I was approached on social media about how the rules of life insurance work in regards to assisted dying, given the recent debates in Scotland and Isle of Man. It might not be an easy episode to listen to but I hope that people will find it useful.

  2. Assisted Dying

    第 6 集

    Assisted Dying

    Hi everyone, I am talking about a very emotive topic today after being approached on social media as to how insurers view assisted dying. With recent debates on passing assisted dying laws in the Scottish and Isle of Man governments, it is something that is likely to be discussed by UK insurers at some stage. I have been very clear not to provide an opinion about whether assisted dying should and shouldn’t be allowed, instead focusing on the facts of how the majority of life insurance policies in the UK would behave if a claim was made following someone choosing to die due to their health. At the end of the episode I include some details of support services that you can reach out to, if you have found the discussion difficult to listen to. The key takeaways: The majority of insurers in the UK offer life insurance with an initial 12 month suicide exclusion In Canada where assisted dying is possible, the insurers do not consider death through these means to be suicideIn countries where assisted dying is allowed physical and mental health conditions ca be viewed differently Next time I will be back and focusing upon protection insurance planning when you have an IHT liability. There’s some specific do’s and dont’s that can make huge differences to how life insurance claims pay out.

  3. Right to Forget Cancer

    第 8 集

    Right to Forget Cancer

    Hi everyone, I have Cillian Tierney with me on the podcast to talk about the way that insurers in the EU are responding to the Right to be Forgotten. This legislation require insurers to give consumers the right to not disclose that they have had cancer when they apply for some protection insurances. The rules are different across countries and some might choose to say that you don’t need to tell the insurer that you’ve had cancer after 2 years, 5 years or more. It might be applied to all protection products or just certain ones. Cillian is the Global Head of Medical Underwriting Propositions and Products at PartnerRe and is sharing his knowledge of how RTBF has developed in the Irish insurance market. This is potentially quite an emotional topic and we are clear from the start that we are talking about this situation from a technical basis, that might not be easy for some people to hear.  The key takeaways: The Right to be Forgotten is not currently legislated in the UK.How insurers determine the ways to assess insurance applications for people that have been diagnosed with cancer.Three case studies that show where the RTBF would and wouldn’t improve terms for someone that has experienced cancer.
