Frequently Asked Insurance Questions

The right coverage depends on your stage of life, assets, and risk tolerance. A proper risk assessment looks at income replacement needs, outstanding debts, estate goals, and potential liabilities. An advisor can help you avoid being underinsured (leaving you exposed) or overinsured (wasting money on unnecessary premiums).

It’s best to review your coverage once a year or whenever you experience a major life event—such as retirement, marriage, divorce, new grandchildren, buying a home, or starting a business. Regular reviews ensure your coverage keeps up with changing needs and laws.

An advisor helps you:

  • Assess risks you may not have considered.

  • Compare insurance products for best value.

  • Integrate coverage with your overall financial plan.

  • Ensure your policies align with retirement, estate, and tax strategies.

Yes. Certain types of insurance—such as cash value life insurance and annuities—can provide tax-deferred growth, tax-free income (if structured properly), and efficient wealth transfer strategies. This helps retirees lower taxable income while still protecting assets. live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Retirees without proper coverage may face:

  • Rapid depletion of savings due to medical or long-term care expenses.

  • Loss of retirement income from market downturns.

  • Unexpected liability lawsuits.

  • Reduced ability to leave a legacy to heirs.

Self-insuring means setting aside your own money to cover potential losses instead of paying premiums to an insurance company. While this may work for small, predictable expenses, most individuals and retirees cannot afford to self-insure large risks such as medical costs, lawsuits, or long-term care. Insurance provides financial leverage by transferring those risks to an insurer.
