"Doing an insurance analysis is basically paying a professional to tell you exactly how expensive it is to be alive."

Insurance Analysis

Insurance decisions are often made during major moments in life—getting married, buying a home, having children, starting a business, or preparing for retirement. Then the policy gets filed away. Years later, your financial situation may look completely different, but your coverage may never have been revisited. At Taylor Retirement Solutions, an Insurance Analysis helps you take a fresh look at your existing insurance coverage and understand how it fits into your current financial situation, retirement strategy, family needs, and long-term goals.

Schedule Your Analysis

When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Insurance?

Owning an insurance policy doesn't necessarily mean your current needs are fully addressed.

Your income may have changed. Your children may now be adults. Your mortgage may be significantly smaller—or completely paid off. Your retirement assets may have grown.

You may have new grandchildren, a business, different beneficiaries, or entirely new legacy goals.

An Insurance Analysis asks a simple but important question:

Does the coverage you purchased years ago still make sense for the life you're living today?

Understanding What You Already Own

Insurance documents can be difficult to understand.

Policy statements may contain information about premiums, coverage amounts, beneficiaries, cash values, riders, surrender provisions, policy loans, guarantees, and other features.

Rather than beginning with a new product, Taylor Retirement Solutions can start by reviewing the coverage you already have. Depending on your situation, that may include reviewing applicable policies such as:

Life insurance
Long-term care insurance
Annuities
Other insurance products relevant to your financial plan

The specific analysis will depend on the policies you own and the documentation available.

What Are We Looking For?

An Insurance Analysis is designed to help you better understand the role your current coverage plays within your broader financial picture. That can mean exploring questions such as:

What coverage do I currently have?

Why did I originally purchase this policy?

Does that reason still exist today?

Are my beneficiaries current?

What am I paying in premiums?

How long are premiums expected to continue?

What benefits, guarantees, limitations, or exclusions apply?

Does the policy have cash value or other features I should understand?

How does this coverage fit into my retirement and estate planning goals?

Sometimes the conclusion may be that an existing policy continues to serve its intended purpose.

Other times, the review may identify areas that deserve a closer look.

Don't Overlook Your Beneficiaries

Beneficiary designations deserve regular attention.

A policy purchased many years ago may still list beneficiaries selected during a completely different stage of your life. Marriage, divorce, births, deaths, remarriage, and changing family relationships can all create reasons to revisit beneficiary information. An insurance review provides a natural opportunity to confirm that your beneficiary designations still reflect your intentions.

Insurance Should Fit Into the Bigger Financial Picture

Insurance isn't a retirement plan by itself. It can, however, be one component of a broader strategy.

Taylor Retirement Solutions considers insurance alongside other areas of your financial life, including:

Looking at these areas together can help determine what role your existing insurance coverage plays—and whether that role continues to make sense.

Make Sure Your Coverage Still Matches Your Life

Insurance shouldn't simply be something you purchased years ago and stopped thinking about.

It should have a purpose within your financial plan.Taylor Retirement Solutions can help you understand what you currently own, why you own it, and whether your existing coverage continues to align with the future you're planning.
