Life Events Review -Change in marital status Your needs evolve and so should your life insurance. Evaluating your life insurance needs should not be a one-time event. In our experience, many financial strategies include life insurance policies that have not been reviewed since they were purchased. Your life insurance policies are an integral part of your blueprint for life and should be reviewed every year or two to ensure they are performing as you expected and aligned with your current financial goals and objectives. There are certain life events that may trigger the need for an adjustment to your life insurance. The most common are: -Change in marital status -Birth/Adoption of a child -New home -Taking on debt -Planning for college -Planning for retirement -A significant change in assets -A change in your business (for business owners)

What does a Policy Review Entail? In addition to assessing your current financial goals and objectives, a typical comprehensive policy review is focused on: Annual Premium How much are you paying? Can you buy the same coverage for lower premiums? Death Benefit Does your current death benefit still provide you with the coverage your family needs? Beneficiary Designations Do you need to update your beneficiaries to properly address your intentions? Supplementary Benefits Are there new options that may be of benefit to you? Are there riders that need to be removed? Policy Ownership Is the policy ownership structure tax-efficient and does it still make sense? Policy Performance Are there better options to help improve the policy’s performance and build cash value? Read Slide You may ask, what happens after the review?

What Happens After the Review? After a thorough review of your policies, one of following things may happen: You will have the reassurance that your current coverage is still the right coverage to meet your needs. Or, you may have the opportunity to make any necessary changes to ensure that you obtain the desired coverage to help pursue your financial goals. Restructure the policies already in force to better meet your needs Replace some or all of the policies that are no longer meeting your needs Read Slide Life insurance is subject to health underwriting and, in some cases, financial underwriting. Life insurance product features and availability may vary by state.

Things to Consider Some important things to keep in mind before replacing your current policy are: New surrender period Any time a new policy is purchased a new surrender charge period begins, with new penalties and fees for early cancellation. New contestability period A new contestability period, generally two years, begins with a new policy. Existing loans In some situations, loans cannot be transferred from one policy to another as a tax-free exchange and would have to be repaid prior to the exchange. Decline in health If you have had an adverse change in health, a new policy may have higher premiums or you may be unable to obtain new coverage. Replacements occur when a new policy is purchased, and in connection with the sale, you discontinue the existing policy by surrendering, forfeiting, assigning to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminating the contract. In the event of a replacement, you may pay acquisition costs on the new policy and incur surrender costs on the existing policy. Any outstanding policy loans in excess of unrecovered cost basis on the existing policy will be subject to ordinary income tax. Tax laws are subject to change and individuals are encouraged to consult with a tax professional. Read Slide

Getting the Review Started By taking the time to review your policies now, you can proactively help to ensure that your life insurance coverage is aligned with your current financial goals, is performing to your expectations, and that you are able to leave an income tax-free benefit to your beneficiaries. If properly structured, proceeds from a life insurance policy are generally income tax-free to the beneficiary. Life insurance guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer.
