Are you financially prepared for the unexpected?

How financially prepared are you for illness, serious injury, or death? Who would pay the bills, the mortgage, and maintain your family's current standard of living? Most people are underinsured, not because they can't afford cover, but because they've never sat down with someone who properly stress-tested their situation.

We identify the gaps and close them

At HWM, we review your income, your debts, your dependants, and your existing cover to build a clear picture of where you stand. We then identify exactly what protection you need and what you don't, so you are never paying for the wrong cover.

Why Review Your Cover

Most People Are UnderinsuredYou insure your car, your phone, even your home but not the income that pays for all of it. Even employer schemes or cover taken out years ago is rarely still adequate
Tax Relief AvailableIncome protection premiums qualify for tax relief at your marginal rate, reducing the real cost significantly
Our ApproachWe review what you have, identify the gaps, and recommend from our panel of providers. No pressure, no unnecessary products

Frequently Asked Questions

Life assurance pays out a lump sum when you die. Specified illness cover pays out a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of a number of serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, or heart attack. You can be alive and claim on specified illness cover. Many people have life cover but no illness cover, which leaves a significant gap.
Income protection replaces a proportion of your salary if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. One in six Irish workers will suffer an illness or injury that stops them working for six months or more. State sick pay is very limited. If your income stopped tomorrow, income protection ensures your bills, mortgage, and lifestyle are maintained while you recover. Premiums qualify for tax relief at your highest rate.
Not quite. Mortgage protection is specifically designed to pay off the outstanding balance of your mortgage if you die during the term. Life assurance pays a fixed lump sum. Mortgage protection cover decreases over time as your mortgage balance reduces. Both can be important, and we will help you understand which you need and whether combining them makes sense for your situation.
Employer group schemes are a valuable benefit but rarely sufficient on their own. Cover levels are often limited, they do not move with you if you change jobs, and they may not cover your full income or all your financial commitments. We regularly find that people with employer cover still have significant gaps. A review will show you exactly where you stand.
Keyperson insurance protects a business against the financial impact of losing a critical person due to death or serious illness. The business takes out a policy on the key individual and receives a lump sum if that person dies or becomes seriously ill. This helps the business survive the disruption, cover lost revenue, and fund a replacement.
The cost depends on your age, health, the type and level of cover, and the provider. Protection is often less expensive than people expect, particularly when taken out young and in good health. We compare across all providers to find the most competitive option for your situation. Income protection premiums also attract tax relief, which reduces the net cost significantly.
In many cases yes, though terms may vary. Some conditions may be excluded, loaded with a higher premium, or covered subject to certain conditions. We have experience placing cover for clients with a range of medical histories and will give you an honest assessment of your options before you apply.
Yes, completely. The initial review carries no obligation. We look at what you currently have in place, identify any gaps, and explain what we would recommend and why. If you decide to proceed, we handle everything. If you decide not to, you leave with a clearer picture of your protection position at no cost.
