Insurance

In 2022, the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association (LIMRA) conducted their annual Insurance Barometer Study along with the non-profit organization, Life Happens. This study is an in-depth analysis of the demographics, effectiveness, and behaviors of American adults focused particularly on life insurance. This study is a great way of gauging many temperatures and benchmarks within the life insurance space.

According to the 2022 Insurance Barometer Study, 50% of respondents claimed they had some sort of life insurance. Of those with life insurance, a bit more than half had private policies and roughly a quarter had policies through an employer-sponsored option. 

After observing this particular study and various like it, we are encouraged that many Americans are taking the necessary steps to protect their assets when they no longer can. However, if this study is truly to scale of the American attitude regarding life insurance, that means roughly half of Americans do not have life insurance. They do not have an effective net ensuring the security of their spouses, children, assets, businesses, etc. 

This is an issue that luckily, we can facilitate through! We encourage you to see below our services regarding ensuring your best assets, covering necessary medical costs if need be, and some extra information that may be helpful for you.

Long-Term Care - An often overlooked and confusing concept for most Americans, Long-Term Care, LTC for short, is a category of insurance now offered by most insurance providers. LTC covers a litany of different services. LTC is typically found as a "rider," or an addition to a life insurance policy. However, some providers offer LTC as a stand alone policy. LTC riders may consist of waiver of premium beyond an elimination period, a return-of-premium, or even accidental death or dismemberment (AD&D). LTC riders and policies kick in upon the insureds inability to perform two ADL's, or activities of daily living.

LTC riders or policies are an incredibly smart choice to make. We recommend everyone that doesn't currently have similar coverage acquire LTC riders or policies. If you have any concerns regarding these policies or products, please contact us today!

1035 Exchange - A concept found within the insurance space. A 1035, established within Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, calls for a non-taxable exchange of certain insurance and annuity products. This allows for the exchange or transition from certain annuities to other annuities, insurance policies to other insurance policies, however, one cannot perform an annuity exchange to a life insurance product. In that case, a taxable event would have occurred. 1035's are typical when an older insurance policy is not up to spec with newly established ones. Financial professionals may exchange these old policies for new ones within the clients best interest. If you feel that your current insurance policy does not meet the needs you have right now, never hesitate to contact us.
