How Insurance Analysis Works


Proper insurance planning goes beyond just life insurance.


We will conduct a thorough review of any existing policies and perform a gap analysis to determine what your exact need is. Our goal is for you to have just the right amount of coverage in place. While it’s important to not overpay for insurance, it’s just as important to ensure that you are covered when the unexpected happens.

PROTECT WHAT YOU’VE WORKED SO HARD TO BUILD


Risk management is essential to your financial plan. We’ll review your current situation to help determine what impact a premature death or disability would have on your financial plan so that we can bring as much certainty to your financial life as possible. Furthermore, it’s important to ensure proper titling of bank accounts. For example, in the state of Florida, TBE titling can be used to add additional layers of asset protection from creditors. Also, ensuring proper coverage limits on auto insurance is crucial to protect your assets in the event of legal action and provide creditor protection.

Health Insurance

Did you know1 that a 65-year-old couple in good health will need approximately $387,644 to pay for health-care costs for the remainder of their lifetime? Ensuring your health care needs now and in the future are in place is important. While some clients simply need us to help them better understand what benefits their employer offers, some clients need us to connect them to the right strategic alliances to put plans in place or help them navigate the Marketplace. Either way, our pre-retiree and retiree clients often need to address their Medicare coverage so, again, we’re here to educate and provide the proper introductions when necessary.

Disability Income Insurance

For those in their accumulation years, your ability to earn an income is actually your most valuable asset. A 35-year-old making $80,000 and retiring at 65, has a $3.5 million-dollar income potential. However, many times we find that our clients don’t really have a full understanding of the depth of support that income provides. Divide your life into four parts – Self, Family, Community and Career – then identify everything within each part that your income supports. You’ll start to realize that a lot relies on your income, perhaps even more than you first thought. Often times, our clients already have some insurance protection in place through an employer’s Group Long Term Disability (GLTD) benefits. But is your current GLTD coverage adequate for your needs? For example, are the GLTD benefits taxable? Does it cover bonuses? Are there monthly benefit caps? We will take the time to evaluate all of these questions to determine what is most appropriate for you and tailor it to fit your financial plan.

Home & Auto Insurance

Let us complete a full review of your existing coverages to determine if your limits are in the appropriate thresholds or if adjustments need to be made.
