Life Insurance

Term

Term life insurance refers to life insurance policies that provide coverage for a limited period of time. It is designed to provide financial protection to your family in the event of your death during the term. This type of insurance is usually cheaper than whole life policies and can be tailored to fit your budget and needs. With term life insurance, your advisor will ensure you have proper guidance to choose a policy amount and length that meets your individual needs.

Bank Owned, Insurance Owned, and Corporate Owned Life Insurance (BOLI, ICOLI, COLI)

Bank owned, insurance owned, and corporate owned life insurance are all forms of life insurance that provide financial protection to the insured in the event of death or disability. Bank owned life insurance is typically held by a bank or other financial institution and used as a form of collateral for loans. Insurance owned life insurance is held by an insurer and may be used as part of an annuity contract. Corporate owned life insurance is held by a corporation and provides death benefit protection for key employees or owners. All three types of life insurance offer financial protection to the insured in the event of death or disability, but each has its own unique features and benefits.

Buy-Sell Agreements

A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding contract that provides for the transfer of business ownership upon a “triggering event” – death, disability, retirement, divorce, bankruptcy, etc. They are integral to succession planning and are often used as life insurance policies to fund the buyout in case of a business partner’s death.

Long-Term Care

Home Health

Home health insurance enables people to remain independent and safe in the comfort of their own homes while still receiving the necessary medical care from professional healthcare providers. Home health care services include nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and other medical social services. Providing these services in the home setting can unnecessary hospital visits and allows people to receive the same quality of care they would receive at a hospital or clinic.

Nursing Facility

A nursing facility is a place where nurses and other medical professionals provide care for patients in need of long-term or short-term medical attention. Nursing facilities are designed to provide the best possible care for their residents, with a focus on comfort, safety, and quality of life. They also strive to promote independence and autonomy for those in their care. Nursing facilities are essential for providing comprehensive health services to the elderly, disabled, chronically ill, or those recovering from illness or injury. With the right nursing facility, individuals can receive the highest quality of care while maintaining their dignity and independence.

Disability

White Collar

White collar disability insurance is a type of insurance policy that offers financial protection those unable to work due to an illness or injury. This type of insurance is specifically designed for those in white-collar professions, such as doctors, lawyers, and executives, who may not have physical jobs, but still rely on their ability to think and communicate effectively. With white collar disability insurance, policyholders can receive a percentage of their income if they become disabled and unable to work. This financial protection can help cover expenses such as mortgage payments, medical bills, and other living expenses. It’s important to note that not all disability insurance policies are created equal, so it’s crucial to thoroughly review the terms and conditions of any policy before you choose. White collar disability insurance can provide peace of mind for individuals who rely on their income to maintain their lifestyle.

Non-Occupational

Non-occupational disability insurance is designed to provide financial support to individuals who become disabled outside of their workplace. It is designed to cover disabilities that occur due to accidents or illnesses that are not related to work. Unlike occupational disability insurance, non-occupational disability insurance does not cover disabilities that occur while the policyholder is on the job. Non-occupational disability insurance can be purchased as a standalone policy or as a rider to an existing life insurance policy. The benefits provided by non-occupational disability insurance can help individuals cover their living expenses and medical bills when they are unable to work due to a disability. Some policies also provide additional benefits, such as rehabilitation services and vocational training, to help individuals return to work after a disability.

Long-Term Income Protection

Long-term income protection insurance policies help protect individuals in the event that they must stop working due to illness or injury. This type of insurance provides a source of income to policyholders who may not be able to work for a long period of time. Unlike short-term disability insurance, long-term income protection insurance can provide coverage for several years or even until retirement age, depending on the policy. It is critical to consider this type of insurance if you rely on your income to support yourself or your family. Long-term income protection insurance can provide peace of mind and financial security during difficult times. It is recommended to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this type of insurance is right for your specific situation.
