Insurance
If you were burgled while you were on holiday, how much would your insurance company pay out? The replacement value, or the actual value of the things you lost? Furniture depreciates of course - but some antiques increase in value. Can this be covered? What kind of life insurance do you need? And is it just as necessary for a working woman to protect her spouse nowadays? You may be very rich dead - but suppose you were to be disabled?

Put your questions on insurance - and assurance - to Joan Astell and Ronald Beale , both writers and advisers on all aspects of the subject.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
