Your once-a-year life insurance checklist.

A review starts with a few facts. Keep a short inventory of each personal policy and any coverage through work, so you can see what needs a closer look.

Gather your latest documents

Find the current statement and policy schedule. For employer coverage, locate the latest benefits booklet. Ask the provider about any missing information.

Write down amounts and dates

Record the benefit amount, premium, term end date, and any conversion deadline. Mark anything you still need to confirm.

List your responsibilities

Note changes in dependents, income, debts, housing, or business responsibilities since your last review.

Check the people and policy details

Confirm beneficiaries and ownership. If you have permanent coverage, ask about a current in-force illustration, guarantees, and outstanding loans.

Bring the questions to a professional

Keep your existing coverage in place while you discuss the facts. A review is a chance to understand your options, not an automatic reason to replace a policy.
