Could wise mumsnetters please point me in the right direction??
I am mum to a 15 year old and I live in my own house with a mortgage. I am divorced.
I have been paying life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection for the last year since moving (I took it out with the mortgage knowing that I could perhaps get a better deal soon after and lo and behold, a year has passed!!).
I am now looking around for better deals but have been given conflicting advice. First of all - do I need all of the above? I am a lecturer with a permanent position and have inservice benefits of a pension, and a payout on death of approx £120 000 (which cooincidentally happens to be the amount of my mortgage). In terms of illness, I would get 6 months full pay then 6 months half pay as a basic rule of thumb.
What would you advise?? Please help. My son's father lives close by and also has a mortgaged property. Realistically, if something were to happen to me, he would live with his father.
Thank you.
