Mortgage Protection

Optional Added Feature

Guaranteed cover again, also known as a conversion option allows you to convert your cover to another Mortgage Life Insurance plan (or equivalent) without having to provide any fresh evidence of health and at any stage throughout the term of your plan. If you wish to avail of this option, you must take it at the start of your plan.

The purpose of including this option is to protect you against a change in your future financial circumstances, where you may need to extend your mortgage term.

Automatic Added Benefits

Your insured life cover amount, up to a maximum of €150,000 is payable if a life proposed dies from bodily injury as a result of an accident while Irish Life is processing your fully completed application form. To qualify you must be you must be under age 55 and your policy accepted at standard rates within 30 days.

This benefit is available on both life and specified illness cover plans. If you start life cover and before the age of 55 you then get married, or become a registered civil partner, have a child, take out a new, or extra mortgage, or get an increase in salary, you can ask Irish Life to set up a new life cover plan, without providing fresh medical information.

The maximum increase in your cover is €125,000; half of your current benefit; or half of your original benefit; whichever is lower.

If you take out life cover, each of your children under aged between 30 days and 21 are insured for €6,000 life cover for as long as you are covered and if you have included serious illness cover on you, your children between the ages of 30 days old and 21 years old are covered for up to €25,000, or half of your specified illness benefit amount, whichever is lower, for as long as you are covered.
If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, your life cover will be paid out, so long as there are 12 months or more until the policy is due to end. A terminal illness is an illness that, according to the attending Consultant, has no known cure, has progressed to a point at which it is deemed incurable or is expected to lead to death within 12 months.
