When Is It Useful to Review Life Insurance?
Life events and changing responsibilities that may make a life insurance review worthwhile.
Life insurance needs are not necessarily fixed. As responsibilities and goals change, it can be useful to revisit what you want a policy to accomplish.
Family changes
Marriage, divorce, a new child, adoption, or new caregiving responsibilities may change who depends on you and what financial support could be needed.
A home purchase or changing debt
A mortgage, business loan, or other major obligation can raise new questions about how loved ones or business partners would manage those commitments.
Career and income changes
A significant change in income, benefits, or employment can affect both the need for coverage and the role of any employer-provided policy.
Business responsibilities
Owners may have life insurance questions connected to succession planning, key people, debt, or agreements among owners. These needs should be discussed with appropriate insurance, legal, and financial professionals.
An older policy
Even without a major life event, it may be worthwhile to review the purpose, beneficiaries, amount, duration, and features of existing coverage.
