Annual Insurance Review - Are You Covered?
Our lives change every year. We buy a new house or a new car. We have a baby or a child goes off to college. We get married, divorced or a spouse passes away. We get a raise at work or inherit money. We buy a boat or add to our private collections such as fine art, jewelry, or wine. Our business expands or changes in scope. Change happens all the time and while insurance may not be top of mind, it is important to review and update your policies at least once a year. A full review will help give you peace of mind that you are covered while life happens.
Below is a quick check list of things to consider in reviewing coverages.
