Life Insurance Mistakes

Over the years, I have seen many insurance mistakes. Here is a list of them:

1) Delay putting in place coverage until it is too late. Acquire when you are healthy.

2) Not understanding all possible risks if you are underinsured

3) Underestimating income replacement when factoring in how much coverage that you need

4) Life insurance viewed as an expense. It can be an asset 

5) Acquiring mortgage insurance through a bank

6) Older individuals regret taking permanent insurance at an earlier age

7) Not reviewing your policy on a regular basis

8) Not telling anyone about your policy. Beneficiaries should be aware of plans in place

9) Single people overlooking ways to protect their income

10) Beneficiaries receive a lump sum to help offset the financial impact of someone close to them passing. Nonetheless, permanent life policies can assist in providing a number of different benefits such as inheritances, legacies, countering taxes, equalization of the estate, diversify an investment portfolio, and final expenses.

Insurance isn’t just about financial security. Insurance is about people. It’s about the people we love. It’s about keeping them safe. We all have something worth protecting. Please let us know if you require further information.
