    You ascertain your financial needs and then arrange the right plans to meet the required needs (often this means multiple plans or segments). You may have needs that require decreasing term assurance, level term assurance, family income benefit or whole of life assurance (the other 10 or so different types of life cover are far less common nowadays).
