The John Lamb Hill Oldridge process
We manage the entire process ensuring it is as simple as possible for our clients while securing the best terms for them.
At John Lamb Hill Oldridge we understand that every client is an individual with different needs and circumstances. All of our clients embark on a bespoke journey with us.
1
Explore
We explore protection solutions with our client and their advisers free of charge and with no obligation. Our highly experienced advisers share their knowledge, insights and where they see potential options for the client and what the cover is likely to cost.
2
Assessment
To place cover successfully we determine the level of underwriting required, to do so, each client will has a strictly confidential, no obligation conversation with our in-house underwriter.
3
Medical
Depending on the level of cover, we usually require a medical examination and a doctor’s report. All medical examinations are discreet and organised at a time and place of the client’s choosing at no cost to the client.
4
Financial
We may require financial information such as Inheritance Tax computations or details on outstanding debt. We would normally work with a client’s other professional advisers to obtain such information.
5
Broking
Once all the relevant underwriting information has been gathered, we package the information in an appropriate format for underwriters and present it to the most appropriate insurer. We negotiate on the client’s behalf with insurers and reinsurers, challenging decisions as appropriate.
6
Final terms and application
Final terms and premiums are sent to the client for approval before proceeding.
7
On Risk
The policy is placed ‘on risk’ and all relevant policy documentation is sent to the client.
8
Writing in to Trust
Where appropriate, working alongside other professional advisers, we ensure that the policy is either written in or assigned in to trust to maximise tax efficiency.
