Evaluate the financial loss, replacement cost, and capital needs associated with a critical individual.
Coordinate coverage with the legal agreement, valuation method, owners, and funding obligations.
Assess insurance alongside the business transition, family liquidity, and intended ownership changes.
Evaluate selective benefit arrangements, funding, retention objectives, and the applicable tax and legal structure.
Professional case review
A useful comparison makes the objectives, assumptions, tradeoffs, and implementation responsibilities clear.
Establish the valuation, compensation, obligations, or other measurable exposure the coverage is intended to address.
Compare coverage amounts, ownership, beneficiaries, and triggers with the operative legal documents.
Include disability exposures, underwriting, employer-owned policy requirements, compensation, and tax and legal review.
Business coverage requires medical and financial underwriting and a supportable insurance need. Legal agreements and insurance contracts must be coordinated. Employer-owned policies and benefit arrangements can have notice, consent, tax, and reporting requirements that need case-specific review.
Product availability, underwriting, features, and compensation vary by insurer, contract, state, and professional capacity. Insurance guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability.
