Before you retire: what happens to your income plan if health changes?

Is this you? Within about ten years of retirement and wanting your income plan checked.

A disability or serious illness in your last working years can change your retirement date and your income plan.

We look at what would happen to your income if you could not work before your planned retirement date, and how you want to leave things for your family. Plain language, no pressure.

The Risk Assessment is a free educational questionnaire about your income, existing protection, business and planning priorities. It adapts to your answers: 15–19 questions, with no medical questions. Allow about 5 minutes (estimated; take longer if you need).

You'll get your score and a call offer, not a sales pitch. The current Calendly session is 60 minutes.

Where your plan can be exposed

  • A disability late in your career can stop your paycheque before you planned to stop working.
  • A critical illness can bring costs and time off that your plan did not expect.
  • Without a plan for your legacy, your family may face delays, costs or difficult decisions.

Questions and answers

Why review protection before retirement?

A review can show how illness, longevity or a death would affect retirement income and family plans while there may still be time to adjust.

Is it too late to get coverage in my 50s or 60s?

Not always. Options depend on your age, health and insurer underwriting, and approval is not guaranteed. A review shows what may still be available.
