Life Insurance
When it comes to life insurance, the sooner you act, the better.
Your health plays an important role in coverage price, so the younger and healthier you are at the time of coverage, typically the lower the cost. Plus, with simplified underwriting, you may have the opportunity to receive coverage without a medical exam.
Take a look at the article below to learn why it’s important to get covered sooner rather than later. You’ll probably be surprised—term life insurance costs less than you think.
Don’t wait until you have a health event or are close to retirement to provide your family with financial peace of mind. Give us a call and we can find the best options for your needs and budget.
Long-term Care
We’ve all heard that thorough preparation minimizes risk. The same could be said for financial planning for unexpected medical events.
We can help you determine which long-term care (LTC) coverage options will work best to help protect your retirement assets and your family.
And, if you’re concerned about paying premiums for a policy you might not need, we offer products that provide benefits whether you need long-term care services or not.
Beneficiary Review
Health and life changes can affect our financial health, too. That's why it's important to periodically check and update your account information and other financial documents.
This is especially true when it comes to the beneficiaries you have selected to inherit your assets.
Over time, beneficiaries can become outdated or contain simple errors such as having incomplete information, not adding a new child or grandchild, or failing to update names after marriage. A comprehensive beneficiary review can help ensure your estate plan will be carried out as you intended.
Annuities
No two individuals have the same retirement goals. That’s why there are numerous annuity products and features designed to optimize your existing plan.
The three primary annuity types—fixed, indexed, and variable—are each designed to fit a different risk tolerance and objective.
- Fixed: for those who want to save money and receive protected income.
- Index: for those who want to take advantage of market gains but want a level of protection against losses.
- Variable: for those with a higher risk tolerance or longer time horizon, who want to take advantage of market gains.
