Cover is not the same as accessible cash
Policy proceeds do not automatically bypass probate. Ownership, valid nominations, trust arrangements, jurisdiction and claim requirements affect payment. Have the actual arrangements checked.

Product choice comes later
Term, whole life and universal life insurance have different functions, costs and risks. For indexed universal life, examine charges, crediting assumptions, premiums needed to keep cover in force and stress cases. No eligibility or underwriting outcome is assumed here.
Background reading: MoneySense on endowment insurance, universal life risks and estate transfer arrangements. Product terms and personal circumstances must be checked separately.
Request a confidential liquidity discussion.
A worksheet raises questions; it does not recommend a product or make you a client. Read the confidential discussion notice and commercial relationships before proceeding.
The person handling your discussion, the capacity in which they act and any relevant firm or remuneration will be explained before personal advice or an introduction proceeds.
Request a discussion by email. Send your name and a general objective only, not your completed worksheet or sensitive documents. The email includes optional worksheet and campaign codes so we can identify what brought you here; you can remove them before sending.
Request a confidential discussionOpens your email app. Prefer webmail? Write to enquiries@thelegacybriefs.com. Sending an enquiry does not subscribe you to the Private Briefing.
You can also use the existing private walkthrough booking page. Appointment availability and calendar synchronisation are managed in Microsoft Bookings, not verified by this worksheet.
Keep reading, on your terms.
The Private Briefing is a separate email subscription with its own consent and subscriber terms. Saving a worksheet does not add you to Kit or a sales pipeline.
