The Importance of an Annual Insurance Policy Review

At Spearpoint, we believe in empowering our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their assets, families, and futures.

One of the simplest yet most effective steps you can take is reviewing your insurance policies annually. Whether you have coverage for your home, car, business, or health, an annual review ensures that your protection evolves with your changing circumstances.

WHY REVIEW YOUR POLICIES EVERY YEAR?

Life doesn’t stand still, and neither should your insurance coverage. Here are some key reasons to make an annual review a priority:

• Changes in Your Life or Business

  • Major life events, such as getting married, having a child, or buying a new home, can significantly impact your insurance needs. For business owners, expanding operations, adding new equipment, or hiring more staff requires adjustments to your policies. An annual review ensures that these changes are accounted for.

• Coverage Gaps Can Be Costly

  • Insurance policies are complex, and it’s easy to overlook gaps in coverage. For example, if you’ve recently added expensive electronics or jewelry to your home, they may not be fully covered under your existing policy. By reviewing your coverage annually, you can identify and address potential gaps before they lead to out-of-pocket expenses.

• Take Advantage of Discounts and Savings

  • Many insurers offer discounts for life changes, such as installing a home security system, bundling multiple policies, or maintaining a good driving record. During your review, your agent can help identify opportunities to save money without sacrificing protection.

• Stay Updated on Policy Changes

  • Insurance companies occasionally update their terms, rates, or coverage options. An annual review ensures you’re aware of these changes and can make informed decisions about your policies.

• Peace of Mind

  • Knowing that you’re adequately protected provides invaluable peace of mind. Regular reviews help you avoid unpleasant surprises when filing a claim and ensure that your policies align with your needs and priorities.

WHAT TO REVIEW

When sitting down to review your policies, focus on the following areas:

• Coverage Limits: Ensure your coverage limits reflect the current value of your assets.

• Deductibles: Review your deductibles to determine if they still make sense for your financial situation.

• Beneficiaries: Update beneficiary information if there have been changes in your family structure.

• Exclusions: Familiarize yourself with what is and isn’t covered by your policies.

• Premium Costs: Compare your current premiums to other available options to ensure you’re getting competitive rates.

• Value: Think back on the level of service and care you have received from your agency. Sometimes savings on cost is not worth experiencing a lack of service or care.
