Periodic Review of Life Insurance is Critical

-Underlying assumptions on which a policy is based may vary over time.
-Products are becoming increasingly more competitive and people are living longer.
-Proper policy ownership and design is as important as pricing.

Existing Coverage Must Be Reviewed Regularly

-Life insurance is an asset, its performance should be monitored.
-Situations can change, making life insurance flexibility very important.

Lower Interest Rates Impact The Performance Of Many Life Insurance Policies.

-Interest rates are one of the key assumptions for fixed permanent products and they have been well below historic averages for some time.
-The result is that many fixed policies are not performing as intended, and if left unattended, some policies will lapse.

Cory Grant joined Andrew after completing law school in late 1992. By 1997, the organization had expanded its national presence as a premier resource for estate planning and business succession advice and the Westhem Grant Group was formed. In 2000, Cory and Andrew identified two rising stars in Scott Hinkle and David Jacobs. Scott as a native of Orange County and David as a native of Marin County, added to the firm’s depth and helped it to expand its client base throughout California while maintaining its dedication to client service.

By the time of Andrew’s passing in 2006, the company had implemented a comprehensive approach to asset protection, wealth transfer planning, and business succession planning for hundreds of clients across the country. In 2008, the firm was renamed Grant, Hinkle & Jacobs, Inc. and continues to be one of the “go to” resources for wealthy families, business owners, and planning professionals around the country.
