The Insurance Center - Lancaster McAden Willis Smith

The Insurance Center - Lancaster McAden Willis Smith The Insurance Center’s business dates back to 1926 when CD Lancaster hung a shingle to sell insurance from the Elks Building in New Bern.

Independent Insurance Agency providing: Home, Auto, Boat, and Life insurance, Health Insurance, Disability Insurance, Work Comp, and Small & Large Commercial Insurance. *Coverage cannot be bound via social media. Fifty-three years later, in 1983, his son Claude and Rufus McAden merged with Rexford Willis’ agency to form Lancaster McAden Willis & Smith, The Insurance Center. Later, the acquisition

of the Kelso-Wheeler agency meant that it grew from a regional company with a small office on Clarendon Blvd. to where it is today: a 32-employee company with branches in New Bern and Atlantic Beach. Always known regionally as a personal insurance and construction specialist, The Insurance Center has expanded into the entire Southeast region with our Hospitality division.

New house. New baby. New job. New business.
When life changes, the protection you put in place years ago may need to change with it.

Life insurance isn't a set-it-and-forget-it decision. Major milestones are a good reason to review what you have and who you're protecting.

A Business Owners Policy can bring several important protections together—but knowing what's included is just as important as having the policy.
If your business has changed since you bought your coverage, it may be time to take another look.
