Why is it important to check the details on your policies and investments?
As your circumstances change, it is vital to ensure, that your life insurance and investments adequately cover your changing needs. In addition to the financial implications of your policies, it is important to ensure that the information pertaining to the listed beneficiaries and your personal details are correct. Failure to keep details current could lead to the wrong people inheriting the funds in the event of your death.
Every year, as policies mature, incorrect details– even simple spelling errors – result in tedious and sometimes costly delays in pay-outs.
