There are many different types of personal insurance plans available. It is never smart to ignore their importance or underestimate the need. Anyone with a family has to give thought to what would happen to their family in the event of accident, death or disability.
There are plans that can be chosen for the three possibilities above, as well as for auto, health, and home. Another type of plan is the long term care plan. It may be needed separate from anything else planned during retirement. Although many are living longer, many are in need of care not covered under traditional policies.
A life policy should perhaps be at the top of the list. Many believe they can wait to get this, especially those that are young and single. This is hopefully true, but thought should be given to those who would be left behind and how they would handle things financially. For those with dependents, it is an absolute must.
Disability needs to be both long term and short term. This is a must for everyone who depends on working for an income. Thought must be given to how lifestyle can be maintained if unable to work. Many employers offer the short term option and pay a little more than half the current income. If there is a long term option it may be prudent to make the choice.
Owning a home automatically means needing a homeowners policy. The things that can go wrong and be very costly in a house are numerous. Acts of nature can also wreak havoc on a home. If someone has an accident on the property, the owner is liable. It just make sense to insure against these possibilities.
Of course, anyone who has a vehicle needs to have an auto plan. All states have minimum liability available but it is always recommended that more than the minimum is retained. There are too many accidents that can happen with a car that are not covered in a minimum plan. Personal insurance is necessary and an agent can help with choosing the right ones.
