Life Insurance & Income Protection

Protect What Matters Most — Your Family, Your Income, Your Peace of Mind
Life is unpredictable, but your family’s financial security shouldn’t be.
At Fortis Financial Management, we help you put the right protection in place so that the people you care about are safeguarded against the unexpected.

Why Personal Protection Matters?

Protect your family’s lifestyle

Life cover ensures your spouse, partner or children can maintain their home, education and daily needs.

Replace lost income

Income protection pays you a monthly benefit if illness or injury stops you working — helping you keep your household running.

Cover medical and recovery costs

Serious illness cover provides a lump sum on diagnosis of certain conditions, easing financial stress during recovery.

Types of Cover Explained

We make protection simple. Here are the main types you need to know:

Term Life Insurance

This provides a lump-sum payment if you pass away during the policy term.
It’s ideal for families with children, couples with shared financial responsibilities, or anyone who wants to ensure loved ones are financially supported.

Mortgage Protection

This type of cover clears your outstanding mortgage if you die during the term.
It ensures your family can keep their home without worrying about repayments.

Serious Illness Cover

Serious Illness Cover pays out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered condition such as cancer, heart attack or stroke.
This financial support can help with medical expenses, family needs or time off work.

Income Protection

If illness or injury stops you working, income protection pays you a monthly benefit until you recover or reach retirement age.
This is one of the most valuable forms of cover for working individuals.

Our Life Cover Calculator helps you estimate how much protection your family may need, based on your income, expenses, and financial commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common FAQs & Misconceptions

Yes — protection is often more affordable when you’re younger, healthier and less likely to claim. Starting early secures strong cover at a lower cost.

If you rely on your salary to pay for your home, bills or family needs, income protection is essential. Most people couldn’t sustain their household for long without regular income.

Many people overestimate the cost of cover. In reality, life insurance or income protection can cost far less than other monthly bills — and provides far greater security.

Often workplace benefits are limited or end when you leave the job. We help assess existing cover and identify gaps so you’re not caught unexpectedly exposed.

What they say

Stories told by those we’ve advised

“Gerry has looked after our financial affairs for nearly 20 years. He was especially valuable when we were both retiring and needed guidance through what seemed to be a complex process. We have recommended Gerry to family members and friends and would be happy to continue to do so.”

Paul and Mary Daly

Douglas, Cork.

“Gerry’s knowledge of the Life, Pensions & Critical Illness markets are second to none. Indeed Gerry was instrumental in dealing with a Critical Illness claim for me, which without Gerry, I would not even have known was covered. Gerry always responds in a timely, professional manner and has the ability to explain, what are often complex products, in a clear and understandable fashion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gerry and the team at Fortis Financial Management.”
