Insurance

Insurance is a Key Component of Planning

Protecting Yourself and Your Loved Ones
An important part of planning for retirement is making sure you have the correct insurance coverages in place.  Insurance can help protect the assets you have and those you will rely on for income during your retirement.   Typical scenarios for insurance can include:

  • Personal Life Insurance
    • Care for loved ones
    • Pay estate taxes
    • Create an immediate estate
    • Provide tax-free income in retirement*
    • Fund charitable giving
  • Business-protection strategies
    • Help ensure business continuity in the event of the untimely passing of a partner
    • Shield you and/or your business partners from unanticipated obligations
    • Avoid putting your family in an untenable situation with one of your largest assets
    • Provide tax-advantaged benefits for business owners and key employees
    • Protect the business against the loss of a key employee
  • Disability insurance
    • Minimize the impact a debilitating injury or illness might have on your financial security
    • Replace lost productivity due to the loss of a key person
    • Provide capital to buy out a disabled partner
  • Long-term care insurance
    • Pay for nursing home, in-home care and/or adult day care
    • Can provide tax free cash payments to pay for long-term care expenses as well as cover some of the costs for critical care or terminal expense.  Click here to see Jessica’s story.
