Buying insurance – either life insurance or disability insurance – from a regular insurance salesperson may be risky.
The reality is that more often than not when the traditional life insurance broker presents their policies the only factor they’ll consider is your current employment earnings. “So”, Mr. or Ms. Customer, “since you earn X amount of income you need Y amount of insurance .”
While your income should be one criteria in determining the amount of insurance coverage you might need, very often is it shouldn’t be the SOLE criterion. Other factors can include investment income, business earnings, child support income, and alimony, just to name a few . Your insurance coverage requirements should be derived from your OVERALL financial reality, not just your income. So where can you turn to for this evaluation?
For a fact a CFP can have the information to do this total financial review and advise you about recommended levels of insurance coverages. But with a fee-basis financial advisor, this might be really more than is needed and, cost-wise, not practical for many people.
So where can you find this kind of overall evaluation?
One source many people might not have thought about is a CPA. Granted most people think of their CPA in light of taxes but he or she is in a unique position to know the breadth and depth of your individual financial picture.
And more and more CPA practices are realizing the benefit they can provide their clients by offering insurance products, that being able to offer guidance on the products and amounts of coverage based on the client’s actual need and not just based the agent’s need to sell something.
