Frequently Asked Questions
Do we sell insurance?
No. We’re fee-only fiduciary advisors and do not sell insurance products. Maintaining independence from insurance companies allows us to provide objective recommendations based solely on your needs, not commissions or referral incentives. We advise on appropriate types of coverage and coverage amounts and can point you to reputable resources to obtain policies if needed.
How do I determine what type of insurance and how much coverage I need?
We help you evaluate the right type and amount of insurance based on your unique situation. Our analysis considers factors such as income replacement needs, family responsibilities, outstanding debts, future expenses, health considerations, and overall cost efficiency. The goal is coverage that protects you without unnecessary complexity or expense.
Can you review my existing insurance policies?
Yes. We regularly review existing insurance policies to identify gaps, overlaps, or inefficiencies. Our review helps determine whether your coverage still aligns with your goals and whether you may be overinsured, underinsured, or paying more than necessary.
How does insurance planning fit into my overall financial plan?
Your plan should be reviewed after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in assets, or the loss of a loved one. Even without major changes, periodic reviews help ensure your plan remains current and effective.
