Wicked Insurance Matters Radio Show with Greg Durette: It’s Our 1 Year Anniversary Show!

You must be out of your mind with excitement, right?!  No…okay…let me try again.  September is Life Insurance Awareness Month!!!  How about now?  Super excited I bet.

Okay, maybe this does seem about as exciting as watching your pet rock grow up from its raucous adolescence to the mature adult rock you now see before you but, it is very important nevertheless.

Why, because life insurance is important.  I will assume all of my clients and listeners are on the good side of things and everyone has life insurance.  The next step is in making sure it stays in step with your life.  Things change over time and it is critical you make sure your life insurance changes with you.  The idea behind naming September as Awareness Month is, folks tend to pay more attention to things once the summer is over and assessments are being made to prepare for a change in seasons and the impending end of year.

So what am I going to cover by way of this exciting celebration?  How about:

• Why you need to annually review your life insurance
• Things to look for that could save you thousands of dollars
• Why having a Trust can hurt you
• How beneficiaries can be really messed up, even with the best of intentions
• Special Needs issues and resolutions

Even the national spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month (professional racecar driver, Danica Patrick) should be listening to this show and so should you.

To hear the show live, just click the headline this Wednesday, 9/21/16 at 9:30am EDT.  You can also call the show with any questions at: (713) 955-0510.  The show is archived so, if you miss the live version, just away and you can hear things as though you were actually there!

Wicked Insurance Matters Radio Show with Greg Durette: Celebrate Life Insurance Awareness Month!

Uh, oh.  Here he goes again!  Tossing around industry terms like a cat nip toy on the nose of a hungry kitty.

Well, guilty as charged but, this is one of those times when it could be worth THOUSANDS of dollars to you if you take a few minutes to learn what this thing called “Life Settlements” really is.

​Basically, it is a way for you to turn your unwanted, unneeded or cumbersome life insurance policies into big money.  Oftentimes, much more than even the cash value in the policy.  How you say?  Tune in to the next show and find out, I say!

Seriously, this is an often overlooked source of cash that even many insurance agents and advisors fail to recognize.  When you need money or, simply are tired of paying into a policy you no longer need, this can be a terrific (and profitable) alternative for you to investigate.

To help us get the details on this subject, I have invited industry expert, Shawn Duling of Asset Life Settlements, LLC, to be my guest and talk us through details like:

• What is a Life Settlement
• Who are the best candidates to get one
• Why would anyone want one
• Realities and common myths
• What type of life insurance policies are eligible
• When is the best time to consider a Life Settlement

These things matter and usually do so when you are least likely to expect.  The time to learn about Life Settlements is before you may even think you would want one…as in right now.  Take a listen and learn about how you may be able to find your huge pile of hidden cash!

“I'm from the government and am here to help.”  Most folks hear that and react by RUNNING harder than a braced up Forrest Gump ever dreamed!  And rightfully so…in most instances.

When it comes to the subject of the government insured Reverse Mortgage program, many folks feel the same way.  Although, the fact of the matter is, this is one of those very rare instances where they may have gotten it right.  I hope you were sitting for that comment!

The problem with Reverse Mortgages is not with what they do, it’s with what the rumors are that people believe they do.  Fears of losing your home, getting kicked out at the hands of dear old Uncle Sam and many other misconceptions fuel some rather unnecessary worries about this program.

We are fortunate to have Mike Kennedy of iReverse Home Loans as my guest this week.  He is a long time veteran of the reverse mortgage industry and will lend his vast experience to our discussion of the realities and common myths regarding this very valuable product.  We will cover things like:

• What exactly is a reverse mortgage
• Who is eligible to have one
• Why would anyone want one
• Realities and common myths
• How much do they cost
• Who pays the bills

This is a must listen show if you have either considered getting a reverse mortgage or simply want to find out the truth and facts about them without the sales banter. 

To get Mike’s expert information and make a decision for yourself, just listen in live on Wednesday, 9/7/16 at 9:30am EDT by clicking the headline below.  You can also listen to a recorded version anytime after the show has aired by clicking this same link.
