Does Life Insurance Belong in Your Retirement Plan?

from Aptus Blueprint Podcast · host Simplicity Blueprint

Life insurance can serve an important purpose in retirement planning—but that doesn’t mean every policy belongs in every plan. In this episode, Josh, Logan and Bruce discuss when life insurance may make sense for retirees, including potential uses for legacy planning, long-term care and tax-efficient wealth transfer. They also cover some of the common mistakes they see: holding onto old policies that no longer fit, buying insurance before clearly defining the problem it needs to solve, and using cash-value life insurance while overlooking more traditional retirement savings opportunities. The conversation also explores long-term care options, beneficiary planning and why even retirees who plan to spend most of their money still need to think about how any remaining assets will eventually pass on. Life insurance can be a useful tool. The key is knowing what job you expect it to do. Ready to take the next step? If today’s episode sparked questions about your own retirement, we’re here to help.
