Children's Insurance Optional Cover
By adding optional Children’s Insurance to your Real Life Insurance policy, you are financially protecting both you and your family at a time when you don’t want to be worrying about money.
Children’s Insurance provides a benefit in the event your child suffers a defined illness or injury, or passes away. This benefit can be put towards anything your family may need; such as medical expenses, childcare fees or extra school tuition. If you have to take time off work, this benefit could also replace some of your lost income during this period.
Features of Children’s Insurance
-
You can get Children’s Insurance added to your policy for any of your children aged between 2 and 17.
-
You can choose your own benefit amount, from $20,000 up to $50,000 for each child insured.
-
You can select different benefit amounts for each insured child, taking into consideration age, schooling or lifestyle requirements, or other personal needs.
