Frequently Asked Question's

1. What is Life Insurance ?

Life Insurance is an insurance policy that provides a lump sum payment if one of the policy holders dies. It can be held by one person or two (typically a couple).

The life insurance benefit / amount and term of the policy will be decided upon and fixed at the beginning of the policy. If someone dies within the term of the policy, the benefit will pay out.

2. Who should have it ?

If you have financial dependents, or anyone who will be negatively affected by your death, you need life insurance.

3. How much cover should I have ?

It is completely dependent on your personal circumstances. We can help you work out the most appropriate life insurance benefit to protect the people you love the most.

For couples who are renting, we strongly recommend you have enough life insurance cover so that in the event of a death, the surviving person can buy a family home and own the roof over their head – with no liability to debt to a landlord or bank.

For people with dependent children, we focus on what replacement income would be needed should an income stop.

Affordability will allows be factored into any recommend we provide. We are strong believers that some cover is better than none.

  • I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic financial advisor called Jack who truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we began our conversation, he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain all the different options available. He listened carefully to my needs and concerns, and tailored his recommendations to ensure I was getting the best coverage for my situation. What impressed me most was his genuine care for my well-being and for my family's future. He didn't just focus on making a sale; he wanted to ensure that I felt secure and informed about my choices. His professionalism combined with a warm, approachable demeanor made the entire process easy and stress-free and I feel so much more at ease now. I left our phone call feeling confident in my decision and grateful for his guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy life insurance agent! Thank you ever so much Jack. From me and my family

    Hadn't a clue of what I was looking for or what was the right cover for me. Mel took the time to call, explain everything in detail and what different policies they offer (which is many different ones) to find the right fit in what I was looking for. She was friendly, understanding and very patient with all my questions and even after the initial phone call when I had more questions she replied straight away to my query.

    Shane Kelly at My Life Insurance went above and beyond in helping me get a policy that suited my needs. I would consider myself an atypical, slightly problematic client because I am not resident full-time in Ireland, which made it difficult getting cover of any kind. Shane shopped around on my behalf and found exactly what I needed, and then walked me through the whole process. Couldn't have been simpler. Communication was always very timely, and the follow up was excellent. Highly recommended!!!!!!

    I would give 10 stars if I could. We worked with Mel in My life Insurance and she was absolutely amazing. We felt so supported throughout the whole process and Mel was always very responsive to our calls and texts. We came up against a hurdle at the very end of our process and Mel supported and advocated for us and got us over the line which we would not have done without her.

    Since having my second baby i really wanted to have something in place for the fear that something ever happen to me or my partner.

I sent of a general quote and received a phone call a day later from Sam who was so amazing and so helpful in every way, he explained everything to me and answered all my questions in a friendly and helpful manner. He went threw all the forms with me and was only a text/phone call a way if I needed help with anything.

    Shane is just a God sent Angel. We were battling to get life insurance after we moved to Ireland as we could not register with a Dr and needed a medical to get one. When I contacted Shane he went above and beyond fighting for us relentlessly without giving up untill he could get us an insurance that was affordable for us. Nothing was ever too much asked and he was so easy to talk to. Thank you Shane you are just the best!
