First things first. • Why have life insurance? • Before we look at your options, first let’s quickly review why you need life insurance. • Life insurance provides a death benefit. • Some policies provide you an accumulation value. • Consider the potential tax advantages.
Is your life insurancekeeping up with your life? With all the demands on your time,you probably don’t give your life insurance much thought. Are yousure it still meets your needs? Maybe it’s time for alife insurance policy review.
Is your life insurancekeeping up with your life? • If you haven’t taken a careful look at your life insurance lately, you could be: • Leaving an inadequate death benefit to your beneficiaries. • Risking a policy lapse because of growing fees and/or cost of insurance. • Missing an opportunity to make your policy part of your overall financial strategy. A policy review can help you find – and fix –any pitfalls, before they become a problem.
How a policy review works. • It’s as simple as meeting with your financial professional and answering a few questions. • Your financial professional may ask about: • Your beneficiaries • Your family • Your finances • Financial obligations • Changes in your medical history
Reviewing the information. • After your financial professional has gathered and analyzed your information, he or she will meet with you again to go over the findings,and perhaps to offer some recommendations. • At this meeting you’ll find out: • How long your policy will continue to stay in force,even under the worst possible circumstances. • How much premium is required to make sure yourdeath benefit lasts for the rest of your life. • Whether your life insurance appears to be adequate,given your needs.
You have options. • Depending on your current coverage and projected needs, your financial professional may identify a need for additional (or different) life insurance. • Here are some of the most common types: • Term insurance • Whole life • Universal life • Fixed index universal life
You have options. • Term insurance • Benefits of term insurance: • Level premiums and death benefit for a specific time • Optional riders1 (ROP, child, spouse, etc.) • Comparatively lower cost/premium 1Riders may be available at an additional cost and subject to state approval.
