What happens if you fail to disclose information to an insurer?

September 9, 2009 · Filed Under Fire and General Insurance, Life Insurance · Comment 

Currently the NZ law does not make a distinction between deliberate or innocent non disclosure.  Effectively if you just left information out of an insurance application unintentionally or by accident, the insurer can still decline your claim, avoid your policy or make changes to your policy.

Contact Thorners if you need insurance advice and we will work with you to ensure that you understand the proposal form and disclose the relevent information.

Thorners service clients New zealand wide and are an award winning insurance agency offering personalised service.

KiwiSaver Mortgage Diversion

July 27, 2008 · Filed Under KiwiSaver · Comment 

KiwiSaver Mortgage Diversion is almost with us.  Many KiwiSaver members become eligible after contributing for 12 months and final sign off by the Bank’s and Government is expected shortly.

Mortgage Diversion will allow up to half of a members personal KiwiSaver contributions to go towards paying off the personal mortgage on their home, so long as the mortgage provider and their chosen KiwiSaver provider offer this facility.

Not all mortgages will qualify for Mortgage Diversion under KiwiSaver regulations, e.g. currently KiwiSaver contributions cannot be diverted into a mortgage that contains a revolving credit facility or a mortgage secured over a property held in a family trust.  It is also limited to a saver’s principle residence (i.e. the family home).  Secondary properties like holiday homes, investment properties and LAQC’s are excluded.
