Have you done a life insurance policy review lately?
I am happy to do a free policy review for you. The easiest way to reach me is on Facebook Messenger.
Why review your policy?
1) To make sure your contact information is up to date.
Information such as your current address and phone number. I did a policy review yesterday and her address had changed 14 years ago. She was not receiving any correspondence from the carrier for 14 years. Should she have had a hiccup in automatic premium payment (bank draft), she would not have received the notification from the carrier and her policy could have lapsed.
2) Are your beneficiaries correct?
How important is this! What if your Ex-spouse is still listed as your beneficiary. (Ouch!) It has been known to happen. Nuff said...
3) How much time do you have left on your term policy?
You should know how many years are left... When doing these reviews, often times people think they have more time left than they do. It is important to know how much longer your policy will last. If you need it to go for a longer time, sometimes it's best to replace it before the end. For example, a 55 year old may have a policy that expires in 6 years at age 61. However at age 61, the price will be much higher and if there are any changes in health, may not even qualify!
4) Is your policy performing well?
If you own a Universal Life policy, it is important to understand if the cash value is building sufficiently. Think of the cash value as the amount of gas in your car. You need enough gas to get you to your destination. In the life insurance world, your destination is the goal to make the policy last to the end of your life. Your policy should be properly funded (premium payments) to reach your goals. An agent can help you determine if your policy will accomplish your goals and can help you make adjustments as needed.
5) Is a "term conversion" a good option for you?
Most all term policies have an option to convert them to a permanent Universal Life policy that never expires. This may be something to consider. Especially if your health has changed and you will not be able to qualify medically for another term policy ever again. Converting may be your best and only option for continuing to have life insurance. I can help you understand the conversion process and to see if it is a good idea.
Again, send me a FB Message if you would like a free policy review.
