Take Time For A Life Insurance Review
Imagine for a moment that you are on an airplane thundering down the runway, and then it lifts off the ground. What are you thinking? Possibly you imagined jet-setting to a long-awaited exotic destination, or maybe you thought about the conference you just completed, eager to get home. But, if you are like the 40% of people who fear or experience anxiety when flying, perhaps you envisioned clinging to your seat wondering if the plane might crash. In any case, preparing to travel gives us a reason to check on our estate plans. In particular, a life insurance review is a valuable exercise at least once every few years.

The checklist below covers key considerations, including:
- Purpose of coverage
