<--Your 100-Day Insurance Review: Are You Covered?-->
Time to Review: The 100-Day Insurance Check-In
The final stretch of the year is upon us, with roughly 100 days left. We understand how swiftly the months have flown by, filled with activity and change. Amidst the hustle and bustle, reviewing your personal insurance may not have topped your to-do list. However, this is an ideal moment to ensure your coverage aligns with your current needs.
Life doesn’t stand still — homes are upgraded, teenagers become new drivers, and other changes might quietly introduce coverage gaps. Let’s walk through a checklist to make sure you’re adequately protected.
Check Valuable Items
Take a look at your valuable possessions. Jewels, electronics, and collectibles—are they properly documented and insured? Life might have brought new pieces into your collection, or upgrades to existing items that need adjusting in your policy.
Assess Your Auto Insurance
Has there been a change in drivers, vehicle usage, or have you acquired new vehicles since the last policy review? Your auto insurance should reflect these shifts. Consider the potential impact of more drivers, especially youthful ones, on your coverage and premiums.
Re-evaluate Homeowners/Renters Insurance
Ask yourself: Has my home's value changed significantly? Have I undertaken any recent renovations or upgrades that could affect this valuation? A standard review will ensure you’re adequately covered against potential property threats.
Review Liability Protection
Your umbrella policy is crucial; does it still cover your current assets? As you survey your domain, new risk factors like a pool, trampoline, pond, or a new beloved pet might have emerged. Make sure your liability coverage is in tune with your lifestyle changes.
Take Action
Quickly jot down notes as you go through each checkpoint. Identifying possible discrepancies now will allow you to address them efficiently. If uncertainties arise, reaching out to an insurance professional will provide clarity and peace of mind.
Remember, these small updates today can stave off major headaches tomorrow. Taking a moment for this review isn’t just about insurance—it’s about preserving your tranquility as the year winds down.
