Key Man Insurance

June 16th, 2010

Legacy Quote is happy to provide the answers about Key Man Insurance.
What is Key Man Insurance? Who needs Key man Insurance? Why buy Key Man Insurance?

Key Man Insurance is an Life Insurance policy which is executed on a Key Man or Key Person with the company who has a substantial impact on the viability of the company. Insuring this Key Person or Key Man is sound business practice for many reasons.

Companies and partnerships that need Key Man Insurance are not categorized by any industry but more so the significance of the partner or owner’s daily contributions.

For example: If 3 Attorney’s formed a Law Partnership and one of the Attorney’s defined role was mostly that of a sales role and he spent most of his time meeting with banks trying to secure their REO business legal work and the other 2 attorney’s roles were to do the REO work. The partnership would have a difficult time surviving if one of the 3 became disabled or died. The most likely scenario in this case would be to dissolve the partnership.

This is the precise reason to buy Key Man Insurance. Many small to medium sized companies and partnerships are defined by a few Key People who make it all happen. Make sure your loved ones are enjoying your hard earned legacy with a well funded Key Man Insurance Policy well after you are gone.

Evaluate My Life Insurance

June 14th, 2010

How do evaluate my life insurance policy? Will it cost anything to evaluate my current life insurance policy?

The best way to evaluate your current life insurance policy would be to gather a list of life insurance companies that offer the same life insurance product you currently are covered by and do a systematic review of the performance of the premium, cash value and projected value as well as if the face amount is proper for the insured individual at a lower monthly or annual premium.

This task can be a couple days worth of work to do and some of the clients we work with start this process only to reach a point in their research that requires a more in depth analysis that requires more time than they want to commit to. That is where we come in at Legacy Quote, take us up on our free current policy evaluation today.

In many cases, we find our clients and write a better performing life insurance policy with higher standards of coverage for less premium. Our trusted advisor’s work hard to find the best life insurance programs available in the marketplace.

Life Insurance Coverage Recommendations

June 10th, 2010

How much life insurance coverage do i need? How many recommendations should i consider?
In the following post I will share a few recommendations to secure proper life insurance coverage.

The number one consideration I continually advise on year after year is how much life insurance coverage should i buy? The answer is never the same for any 2 people. So much depends on your current portfolio and insurance policies that may be purchased by your company on your behalf.

The second consideration is who should be the benefactor? My advice here is that your loved ones are the obvious choices. You may also want to consider low paid or non paid caregivers that helped your family along the way.

The last two life insurance coverage recommendations would be do business with a reputable company that has an excellent track record and stellar financial ratings.

In closing, work with an independent life insurance advisor with unbiased representation. We feel strongly that our objective advising puts you in a position to receive the best life insurance coverage at the fairest price.
