If you have life insurance, several things could happen in your life that could warrant a review of your current policy. Insurance is designed to protect your family against any possible, future risks. It is important to obtain the have the best coverage in place against foreseeable and unforeseeable events.
The following are the significant events that require a review of your life insurance policy:
- Family life events. Whether it’s birth, death, marriage or divorce, it makes sense to review your life insurance coverage after these family-related events occur.
- Change in financial situation. If you lost your job, then there is a chance you may lose your life insurance as well. You can switch a whole life insurance plan to a term plan, which protects you for a certain period of time and generally pays a benefit in the event of your death.
- Tax law changes. If you end up having a taxable estate, life insurance can resolve that issue.
- Retirement. If your retirement plan is successful, you will have enough money not to have life insurance anymore. However, if your spouse wouldn’t have enough income, if you were to pass away after you retire, then you may need more life insurance.
- Once every couple of years. Many of these events are quite impossible to predict. So it is wise to take a look at your life insurance coverage twice a year to be on the safe side.
