Expatriate Disability Insurance

Expat Financial sm can provide expatriates living abroad international disability income insurance. Most financial experts agree, protecting your ability to earn an income should be considered a priority. We broker several plans from the marketplace. One such plan is called The Global Life and Disability Plan, underwritten by  AGF (Hauteville) and administered by William Russell Limited. It is specially designed to provide income replacement protection for individual expatriates around the world. AGF is one of Europe's largest and oldest insurance companies and has a AAA rating from Standard & Poors. 

Unfortunately, disability plans that we offer are not available to local nationals or to expatriates living in USA.  People in USA about to become or already expats can apply.

Should you become disabled and unable to work, you have the real peace of mind knowing that if your salary stops, the Plan replaces much of your lost income, after a 3 or 6 month waiting period. Download Brochure!
