Insurance Planning

Insurance is used for a variety of reasons. When we think of insurance for protection, we often think of our homes or our cars. Insurance can also be used to protect your income or your estate. The reasons for using insurance are as unique as we are as individuals.

Protecting your income:

Disability Income insurance – Protects income lost while disabled during your working years. Disability income insurance replaces a portion of the income lost if you are disable and unable to work for a specified periods of time.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term Disability Income Insurance

Life insurance – Provides a specified amount of money if the insured passes away during the term of the policy. Life insurance is used to replace income for a family provider, provide money to pay-off a mortgage loan, provide for college education for children, or provide retirement assets for a surviving spouse. There are many needs for life insurance.
