Insurance planning

Protection that matches your real life — not a quota.

I start with the coverage you already own and ask a simple question: does this still make sense? From there we fix, simplify, and fill the gaps — never sell for the sake of selling.

Who this is for

Families reviewing life insurance Pre-retirees considering long-term care Retirees needing income guarantees Anyone with policies they don’t fully understand

Life insurance review

We’ll look at what you own today and decide whether it still fits. Keep what works, simplify what doesn’t.

  • Term vs. permanent decision-making
  • In-force policy review & right-sizing
  • Coverage to protect a surviving spouse

Long-term care strategies

Longevity is a gift — but it deserves a plan. We explore traditional LTC, hybrid policies, and self-insuring.

  • Traditional vs. hybrid LTC
  • Asset-based care funding
  • Care coordination with family

Annuity & income guarantees

Annuities aren’t right for everyone — but for some, they provide the paycheck-in-retirement that lets them sleep at night.

  • When an annuity does & doesn’t fit
  • Rescuing old, expensive contracts
  • Lifetime income comparisons

Beneficiary & ownership review

The fastest way to derail an estate plan is a stale beneficiary. We’ll audit every policy and account so the right people are named.

  • Primary & contingent beneficiaries
  • Per stirpes vs. per capita
  • Trust as beneficiary considerations

Policy summary & translation

You’ll leave with a one-page summary of every policy you own — what it does, what it costs, and what it’s for.

  • Simple language summaries
  • Premium & cost transparency
  • Annual check-ins

Risk gaps we catch often

Most families I meet have one of these three gaps — we’ll make sure you don’t.

  • Under-funded long-term care plans
  • Term policies expiring before income replacement is needed
  • Outdated beneficiary forms

Common questions

Things people ask me.

Do you sell insurance?

Insurance is one of several tools I use in planning. When a policy is the right fit, I’ll show you options from multiple carriers — and if it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you that too.

What if I already have a policy?

Great — we start there. About half the families I meet already own coverage that’s fine as-is. We keep what works.

Is long-term care insurance still worth it?

It depends on your assets, health, and family situation. We’ll weigh traditional LTC, hybrid life/LTC, and self-insuring side by side.

How do annuities fit into a retirement plan?

They’re useful for creating a personal pension when other guaranteed income is limited — but not every plan needs one.

Most first conversations are 30 minutes. No obligation, no pressure — just real answers.
