BE PREPARED
UNDERSTAND POLICY UPDATES
In the same way that we recommend an annual review of your insurance coverage, insurance providers do the same exercise. From year to year, there may be changes in your coverage terms and policy exclusions. Something that was covered last year may not be covered this year, and it’ s up to you to verify all that’ s included in your policy. Keep an eye out for exclusion notes regarding water damage, roof age, or personal valuables. Any questions? Ask your agent!
INSURANCE MADE EASY
For many families in North America, insurance feels difficult to understand and even harder to navigate successfully— but it doesn’ t have to be. With a few best practices, you can keep your family protected for decades to come.
• Never lose sight of the big picture. All of your insurance policies should work together to cover different aspects of your life. When you combine auto, home, umbrella, and life policies, you can reduce coverage gaps and lower costs with bundled pricing.
• Embrace digital tools. Most insurers offer custom mobile applications and online account portals that simplify policy management and claims processing. Be sure you create an account and set up your digital access so that you can access
coverage documents, receive renewal reminders, and see your account details from anywhere.
• Stay updated on local regulations. Everything from changes in building codes to updated flood maps can impact your insurance needs and premium rates. Your agent should be up to date on these changes, so it’ s important that you ask for their guidance in the new year.
• Review policies annually. The best way to stay protected is to make insurance reviews part of your yearly routine. Reach out to your agent well before your renewal date to discuss life changes, and adjust your coverage as needed. A few hours now could mean the difference between financial hardship and being fully protected in a worst-case scenario.
