Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-Term Care insurance is a benefit that you may already have in your financial tool kit. It is often overlooked in the present moment because people think they need to keep that benefit in reserve. However, the time to access that benefit may be now. Contact your insurance company to see if you have coverage and to what amount.

Life Insurance Policy

Life insurance is often a older adult’s most valued asset and one they can use to alleviate retirement costs. Like your home or other personal assets, a life insurance policy is personal property, a living benefit, that has a fair market value. Knowing that value is important. Selling your policy for fair market value is your legal right and is a viable choice to create more options for your retirement income. Speak with your financial advisor or a licensed insurance settlement expert about your options.
