Life Insurance Proceeds Can Be Dangerous
There may be some lessons to be learned here. Read Article
Lesson # 1. Have life insurance proceeds deposited directly into your bank account or, at least, have the cheque sent to you.
Lesson # 2. If you must use an attorney, also use an accountant. The cheque can be payable to them both in trust for you. If they are not known to each other, so much the better.
Lesson # 3. Don't tell anyone about the inheritance from the life insurance policy.

Long Term Care Policies Must Be Carefully Selected
It is important that when you are buying Long Term Care insurance that you know all the proper questions to ask.
Is This a Long Term Care Company?
The first question is whether the company offering the policy is committed to this type of insurance. Many companies offer life annuities while others won't touch them with a bargepole. So, is Long Term Care policy one of their main sellers or is it just an add-on product? You go into a hardware store to buy paint but they also will probably try to sell you a hat. Make certain what products this company are mainly offering

Long Term Care Periods
The next problem is to determine whether you should have a policy where the rates are firm for 10 or 20 years or some other period.Of course the longer the period, the more you pay. But freezing the rate may be the smart thing to do. If the rates are raised for your class early in your policy period, you may save a lot of money. Another possibility is that you could pay upfront for the full term.

Long Term Care Company Should Be Strong
Overall you have to be satisfied that the benefit will be there for you when or if you need it.You need to consider your income in the later years; will you be able to keep up the policy and will the policy do what you need it to do? If one policy has tight restrictions on what it offers, you then need to compare it to others on your local market. Ask your friends if they have policies and compare them to what you are considering. If you are thinking about the wrong type of policy for you and/or your spouse, now is the time to realise it.

Critical Illness Insurance is Critical
Here is a case where a man is suffering from a type of cancer that only hits in 1 out of 2 million cases. So people say to me "why should I bother with a critical illnes policy" ?
Here's why.Your policy will cover heart attacks, strokes as well as cancer, the 3 main causes of disability. If you don't know anyone who has had heart problems, cancer or a stroke, you are living under a rock at the bottom of the ocean. Or you are 4 years old. You should read the whole critical illness article here and then call your insurance broker.
