We Make Sure You Are Protected
When insurance is deemed to be part of the overall game plan, we work diligently to match your situation with the products and services that are available through all of the major carriers active in the market. We also work on your behalf to obtain the most favorable underwriting offer by forcing the carriers to compete for your business. This includes the preparation of the underwriting file that will be reviewed by the competing insurance companies. By guiding you through the underwriting process we streamline the process and work to avoid unfavorable decisions due to the lack of a complete file. The final result is that your insurance plan will be the most competitively priced solution available in the market. Since we have access to all of the major carriers, we can never be beat by price.
We believe that the overall financial planning process is the catalyst for identifying specific insurance solutions. With that in mind, here are a few of the specific applications that we have used to solve complicated financial problems:
- Survivorship Insurance to Solve Estate Liquidity Needs
- Succession Planning for Privately Held Businesses
- Key Person Insurance for Business Loans
- Non-Qualified Executive Benefits for Highly Compensated Owners and Employees
- Charitable Planning Trusts for Families with Charitable Interests
- Irrevocable Insurance Trusts to Lower Estate Taxes
- Loan Rescue Plans and 1035 Exchange Programs to Adjust Your Existing Insurance Solutions
- Comprehensive Policy Review to Maintain Your Current Insurance
Lastly, the insurance planning team interfaces with your other advisors to monitor and adjust your plan to keep it current with the latest planning ideas. We routinely review your plans in order to insure that your insurance is performing as planned.
