When you are considering your options to buy an insurance product, plan before you buy. The planning process requires you sitting down with your financial advisor and letting her/him know the BIG picture. How much insurance should you own and what type? Can I buy more insurance which is designed for my needs? How long do I need the coverage? Mortgage insurance at the bank is expensive; how much premium can I save by going to an " independent" broker ? Who should be owner and beneficiary of my policy? Do I have a holding company that can pay for my insurance with lower after tax premiums?
