Is Travel Insurance Enough?

We all rely on travel insurance to protect us from theft or damage during our holidays. But in today’s world, is that really enough? If you want genuine peace of mind before you set off on your journey, more comprehensive preparation is essential.

It’s no longer just about covering unexpected bills; it’s about safeguarding your loved ones from emotional turmoil and logistical headaches.

When the Unimaginable Happens

Each year, holidaymakers head away to relax and recharge; however, tragically, not everyone returns home. This reality can affect anyone, leaving those at home in a state of limbo.

For your family and friends, it marks the start of an agonising period full of worry and uncertainty.

Support Those Left Behind

Your loved ones are left not only with heartache, but at a time when they are already overwhelmed, they’re suddenly faced with all manner of practical problems:

• Important documents, such as insurance papers, cannot be found. Are they stored digitally or tucked away somewhere in print?

• No one knows your laptop or tablet passwords. If your smartphone is lost, the gateway to vital information disappears with it.

• Your social media profiles remain online, with no instructions about what should happen to them or how to close them down.

• Your family may be unaware of any final wishes, let alone where these might be recorded.

Holiday Without Worry

Thankfully, you can take steps to avoid this. With Life After Me, you’re able to pre-arrange for one or more trusted individuals (Trusted Appointees) to access selected information.

Your partner, for example, could retrieve your passwords and logins, while a business associate could be briefed on your succession plans. You choose whether these details are available ‘now’ (while you’re still here) or ‘later’ (after your passing).

This ensures nothing is left to chance and spares your loved ones needless stress and confusion.
