End-of-Year Personal Insurance Checklist

 

As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on what's passed and prepare for what's ahead. It's the perfect opportunity to review and update your personal insurance coverage. Life moves fast, with changes like home renovations or new drivers emerging when you least expect them. These changes can lead to gaps in your coverage if overlooked. Let’s ensure you’re well protected before the new year begins.

  1. Homeowners or Renters Insurance: Have there been renovations or upgrades that have changed your home's value? A quick review can help ensure your coverage aligns with your current situation

  2. Auto Insurance: Consider any changes in your household regarding drivers, vehicle usage, or new additions to the family fleet. These factors can impact your policy needs

  3. Valuable Possessions: Ensure that items like jewelry, electronics, and collectibles are documented and properly insured.

  4. Liability Protection: Is your umbrella policy comprehensive enough given your assets? Consider any new risk factors like pools, trampolines, ponds, or pets that may have been added this year.

  5. Action Plan: As you go through each point, note down any gaps or questions. This will help you address them efficiently. If you're uncertain, reaching out to an insurance professional can provide added clarity.

Making these updates now can prevent headaches in the future. Reviewing your insurance coverage is a simple but effective step to ensuring peace of mind as the year wraps up.
