Dual life Mortgage Policy

    Took out a dual life policy 11 years ago while we were building our home - we did little or no research at the time and took whatever one was offered by the mortgage adviser ( our bad - I know :mad:) Just now trying to get my head around what it offers or doesn't offer before I call and speak to them.

    Its will Acorn life - its a dual life policy for 460k per person. Its around 120/month this year, grows a few € every year. I believe in my untimely demise :) the 460k will pay off the mortgage with what ever left to the missus. Cover is the continued then I think with the next payout to the dependents when herself joins me ...

    We are both mid 40's and there is 20 years left on the mortgage.( which is on a very low tracker, fortunately)

    Just to pick some people brains on what better offers/options are out there in terms of Assurance/Insurance /Illness cover as I find this whole thing hard to get my head around it

    Thanks

    Get a proper review done. It's the only way.

    p.s. Acorn Life are unlikely be best advise.

    To start, get a simple quote from www.labrokers.ie to see how other policies compare.

    Decide if you want joint life or dual life.

    Joint life = pays out once

    That'll get you a cheap policy but not the most appropriate one.
