Why is it that we trust experts to look over and review almost all of our legal documents … but we never think to have anyone review our life insurance policies? This, as it happens, can be a fatal financial mistake! And can lead to a huge financial loss in the long run. David Kottler, The Life Insurance Doctor™, can walk your audience through the benefits of regularly reviewing their insurance policies. He’ll start by sharing some powerful statistics. Did you know that 90% of life insurance policies lapse with no value before any death benefit is paid? That $700 billion worth of death benefits lapse or get surrendered each year? Or that 99% of lapsing policies could have delivered great value to the family before lapsing? David is the author of “The Best Kept Secret in Your Insurance Policy,” which details everything people need to know to get the most value out of their insurance policies.
