This page covers questions specific to Great Eastern Financial Advisers and Alicia's role as a representative — separate from the general estate planning questions covered in the main FAQ.
Use MAS's public Register of Representatives and search by name or representative number. Alicia's Rep No. is TSC300919639, and her current principal is Great Eastern Financial Advisers Pte Ltd. You can also check the firm itself on the MAS Financial Institutions Directory.
Verify their identity independently before sharing any personal or financial information — through Great Eastern's official contact channels, or the MAS Register of Representatives above. Great Eastern has issued security advisories about impersonation scams, and government agencies or genuine representatives will never ask you to transfer money over the phone. If in doubt, call the ScamShield Helpline at 1799.
A tied representative, like Alicia, is appointed by a specific financial adviser or insurer and primarily advises on that company's products (and any products it has a distribution agreement for). An independent adviser has no such commercial ties. Neither structure is inherently better — what matters is transparency about which one you're working with. See MoneySense's guide to the different types of financial advice relationships.
It's Great Eastern's broader initiative encouraging customers to plan ahead — covering making a Will, considering a Lasting Power of Attorney, and reviewing your financial plan and insurance coverage with a representative to identify any protection gaps. Read more on the Great Legacy Programme page.
Life insurance can provide a lump sum to your beneficiaries quickly, independent of the probate process — which can be useful for covering estate costs, providing immediate liquidity to a spouse or dependants, or equalising an inheritance between children (for example, one who inherits a family business and one who doesn't). This works alongside, not instead of, a proper Will and nomination structure.
The current range is listed on Great Eastern's life insurance product page. Product terms, illustrations and suitability vary by individual circumstances — Alicia can walk through what's actually relevant to your situation rather than a generic product list.
Eligible policies are automatically covered under the Policy Owners' Protection Scheme, administered by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC), up to scheme limits. No action is required from policyholders for this coverage to apply. Details are available from the Life Insurance Association (LIA) or SDIC directly.
Claims are handled through Great Eastern directly, and Alicia, as your representative, can guide you through the process and required documentation. For general claims information, Great Eastern's official site is the authoritative source — always go through official channels rather than any third party.
