National Life Insurance Day: Reviewing the Importance of Life Insurance in Today’s World

National Life Insurance Day may not be the most exciting holiday on the calendar, but it serves as an important reminder to review your life insurance policies. Gulf County resident and certified financial planner practitioner, Walter L. Woodrick, highlights the recent changes in the life insurance industry, including the combination of life insurance with long-term care coverage.

With people living longer and the cost of care rising, the option to have a policy that covers both life insurance and long-term care can provide peace of mind for individuals and their families. Woodrick advises individuals to review their current insurance coverage by obtaining a “declarations page” or “policy summary” and seeking the help of an independent agent to compare policies from multiple companies.

In addition to updating beneficiaries and providing a health summary, Woodrick emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues before it’s too late. By taking the time to review and potentially update your life insurance policy, you can ensure that your loved ones are protected and your legacy is secure.

So, on National Life Insurance Day, take a moment to consider the importance of life insurance and how it can benefit you and your family in the long run. And remember, it’s never too early to start planning for the future.
