FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION Policy Review Reviewing your clients’ policies every few years is an important part of helping your clients keep their financial strategy intact. If their needs or plans have changed, then their policy may need to be adjusted to fit their new circumstances. They may have too little or too much insurance for their present situation and future goals. Talking with your clients about their financial plans and periodically reviewing the role that their life insurance policy plays in those plans can make a marked difference in your clients’ ability to reach their goals. Chances are, life is quite different today than when your client purchased their policy — and likely so are their insurance needs. A systematic policy review is the best way to ensure their coverage continues to keep pace with their needs. The policy review process is very important.

Why is a Policy Review Important? Would your client like to know if they could possibly increase their death benefit and/or get death benefit guarantees? Wouldn’t your client want to be reassured that their death proceeds will be paid to the right beneficiary? Wouldn’t your client want to know if their coverage were inadequate due to changes in their lives, their needs or in legislation? Do your clients’ have children or perhaps parents who rely on them for support? Would your client want to move from “renting” to buying insurance?
