End-of-Year Life Check: Is Your Insurance Right?

Reflecting and Revamping: A December Tradition

As we wrap ourselves in the warmth of the holiday season and prepare for the new year, it's a common pursuit to reflect on our past and future. This period, filled with family gatherings and the open enrollment period, provides an ideal backdrop to rethink many aspects of our lives, including our life insurance needs. It’s easy for life’s uncanniness—both anticipated milestones and unexpected turns—to render our existing insurance policies outdated. Perhaps without even noticing, your priorities have shifted, and so might have your insurance needs.

The Annual Reassurance of Reviewing Life Insurance

While you're caught up in the end-of-year rush, it's worth taking a moment to reassess your life insurance because life's dynamic nature means our coverage needs rarely remain static. Consider the past year: has a new job, promotion, or retirement altered your financial landscape? These significant career changes can strongly impact the amount and type of coverage you need. Alternatively, life events like getting married or divorced often necessitate reevaluating your policy. Similarly, welcoming a new child or grandchild into the family typically calls for increased financial protection. Think too of the financial implications of buying a new home or taking on significant financial obligations. As life evolves, so too should the safety nets you've put in place. Changes in your health, income, or long-term financial goals also urge a closer look at your coverage. Have your expenses increased, or your financial aspirations shifted? Finally, don't forget to adjust your beneficiary designations or estate plans to reflect the current state of your relationships and responsibilities.
