Are You & Your Family Insured?
No one wants to think about life insurance. But if someone depends on you financially, it is a topic you shouldn’t avoid. Getting insurance doesn’t have to be complicated (or boring). Let McKnight Advisory Group help answer your questions and help you make informed decisions for protecting your loved ones financially.
Many people with life insurance coverage need to know what they have, why they have it, or if it is too much or too little. Annual coverage reviews are essential because existing policies may no longer appropriately fit an individual’s overall portfolio. Lower interest rates and higher insurance costs could lead older policies to lapse early and not be there for an individual as initially planned. Because life happens and individuals may have skipped a premium payment or paid a premium late, the future performance of a policy can be adversely affected.
Older life insurance policies (particularly permanent, cash value policies) should be reviewed regularly as with any other type of financial vehicle. It ensures that an individual’s coverage is in unison with their goals and the planning strategies. Contact us today to discuss a policy review.
