Protect Your Family’s Future with Life Insurance

A simple definition of life insurance says that life insurance is a gift we leave for our loved ones long after we are gone. Proper life cover can be a very significant planning tool for your family, opines Richard Cayne.  Having spent many years in Tokyo Japan where the majority of the population have too many policies but not proper insurance coverage Richard Cayne of Meyer International knows the value of this important tool. If you want to secure your family’s financial future, getting proper life cover in place can be a great way to provide income and continuity for your family.

Even after its’ benefits are clearly noted and understood, there are many people who do not opt for life insurance or they are under insured or they take a wrong decision on the type of insurance which they choose. Those who are unable to decide on ‘What is’ and the ‘How’s’ of life insurance should take help of reputed financial consulting company, like, Meyer International Ltd in Bangkok which is part of Meyer Asset Management Ltd..  Those who do not consider life insurance as an important need in their lives should understand the fact that life insurance is not only about the money that will be provided to your family after your death but it’s a protective shield for your family against the financial crisis which it might face in your absence. If you are the sole earning member of your family and others are dependent on you for their needs, then, unquestionably, you should have life insurance. Even the basic needs like education, medical treatment, housing expenses, different commitment payment installments, various kinds of bills etc become difficult for the family to bear when the earning member passes away suddenly.  Needless to say you do not want your loved ones to go through a tough time when you are not around!         

According to Richard Cayne Meyer International in Bangkok, life insurance should not only be seen as the money that is paid to your family after your death but it should also be considered as a valuable investment. Just have a word with any expert financial consultant, like Richard Cayne, and he will explain you that how life insurance acts as a profitable and valued financial planning tool in the event that you do not die for many years.    For different nationalities and residents life assurance can take on different financial planning goals.  In the US for example life insurance provides for tax efficient roll up on gains free from yearly reporting requirements and yearly taxation, this can be a significant benefit says Richard Cayne.  It must be US insurance though of which the definitions differs from elsewhere in the world.  In Japan for instance life insurance does not offer the same tax free death benefit it does in the US but there a core need is death benefit for income replacement.  Richard Cayne who lived in Tokyo Japan for 15 years can state first hand that Japanese have a need for proper death benefit insurance.  Having many small insurance policies as is the norm in Japan is not necessarily proper financial planning.

Life insurance provides immediate cash and helps the dependants in their time of need. It can play a significant role in paying the debts and funeral expenses of the deceased. Adequate insurance ensures that all your financial obligations are met appropriately when you pass away. If you have realized the importance of life insurance, the next step should be on deciding what type of term or permanent insurance makes sense. Term and permanent are two types of life insurance and Meyer International in Bangkok can help you decide on one that’s best suited for you as many factors like budget, financial obligation, the needed coverage periods etc, are considerations.
