INSURANCE PLANNING
Providing Everything You Need
Insurance is a contract of indemnity ie. The insurer agrees to pay the insured a certain sum of money either on the happening or the non-happening of a certain event.
Insurance is an important step in the financial planning process. It is a defensive measure and offers peace of mind to the individual.
Insurance planning is to protect yourself, your family and loved ones, your home, your assets, or your business against unexpected events. The idea behind insurance is to get a group to contribute financially to a fund specifically designed to help individuals recover in the case of an unexpected loss. In this way, insurance eases financial burdens that can occur when disaster strikes.
Purposes of insurance planning
Insurance planning is a critical component of a comprehensive financial plan that includes evaluating risks and determining the proper insurance coverage to mitigate those risks. The principal goal of insurance planning is to identify and analyze risk factors in life and seek proper coverage to attain a peace of mind if disaster strikes. The chances of recovering partly or fully are assured by having insurance. Therefore, insurance is an economic device transferring risk from an individual to a company and reducing the uncertainty of risk via pooling.
Insurance planning plays a crucial role in your comprehensive financial plan. Because there are numerous risks that can wreak havoc with even the best laid plans; our job is to help you identify these risks and discuss ways to mitigate the risks. Proper risk management is vital to a successful financial plan and investment portfolio to help protect you against unexpected life events. With properly structured life, disability, long term care, and critical illness insurance, you can transfer the financial risk of uncontrollable events to a third party --- the insurance company. Although insurance is the answer for many risks, it is not always the answer. We will help you determine if insurance is necessary and, if so, how much insurance is needed to protect your wealth.
The rising cost of health care is also a concern to many people. How can health care costs affect your ability to save hard-earned assets? What about health care costs not covered by traditional systems? The need for long-term custodial care might easily erode an entire lifetime of savings. From disability insurance to long-term care insurance and Medicare supplemental plans, we can help you make the right choices. Life insurance and long-term care insurance are two very personal and critical considerations of your overall retirement plan. It is imperative that these policies be coordinated with both your financial advisor and a qualified insurance professional. Simply buying long-term care or life insurance from an insurance salesperson could lead to the wrong types of policies for you and your family.
