Four practical guides

Start with the decision in front of you.

The articles are written for education before a sales conversation. Tax, legal, estate, and investment questions should be reviewed with the appropriate qualified professional.

01

Does life insurance still have a job after retirement?

A balanced look at the financial responsibilities life insurance may address later in life—and the reasons some retirees may need less or no additional coverage.

02

Needs analysis

A needs-first way to estimate coverage

A practical worksheet for comparing future obligations with existing resources—without relying on a one-size-fits-all coverage multiple.

03

Policy fundamentals

Term and permanent coverage: questions to compare

Understand how coverage duration, premium schedules, cash value, renewability, and guarantees differ before choosing a policy type.

04

Policy protection

Slow down before replacing existing coverage

A consumer checklist for comparing an existing life policy with proposed coverage before surrendering, exchanging, financing, or canceling anything.

A better way to review coverage

Purpose, proof, and an affordable path forward.

  1. 01

    Name the financial job

    Identify the person, obligation, time period, and dollar need before choosing a policy type.

  2. 02

    Separate guarantees from projections

    Use the issued policy and insurer-approved illustration to identify what is guaranteed and what can change.

  3. 03

    Protect existing coverage

    Never cancel an existing policy before new coverage has been issued, delivered, reviewed, and accepted.
