Insurance & Risk Management
Objective risk management — no commissions, no product sales, no conflicts.

The Problem
Most coverage gaps aren't discovered until it's too late.
Two of the most common issues new clients arrive with are annuities they can't explain and life insurance that doesn't reflect their actual income or dependents.
Common gaps Heirloom sees:
- Annuities purchased without understanding their role in the financial plan
- Life insurance coverage that hasn't kept pace with rising income or growing families
- Specialty or business-related coverage that has lapsed or been overlooked
Who this affects most:
- Clients with multiple properties, complex balance sheets, or significant liability exposure
- Executives whose income and benefits are tied to a single company or industry
- Business owners whose personal, business, and insurance structures are intertwined
- High-net-worth families where insurance may form part of liquidity or legacy strategies
Heirloom's Approach to Insurance & Risk Management
Heirloom reviews all existing coverage objectively and works with independent specialists to evaluate the market without a commission incentive. Every recommendation is evaluated within the context of a comprehensive financial plan.
Our Approach
1. Coverage Audit
What the audit covers:
- All existing insurance and annuity contracts evaluated for purpose, cost, and fit
- Life insurance coverage relative to current income, dependents, and goals
- Specialty or business-related coverage tied to your role or company
- Annuities reviewed for whether they serve a clear function in the financial plan
No commission incentive influences the analysis.
Our Approach
2. Risk Needs Analysis
We assess:
- Income replacement needs based on current lifestyle and dependents
- Long-term care and disability exposure
- Business-related liability or key-person coverage needs
- Healthcare costs for clients who may retire before Medicare eligibility
Coverage needs are evaluated based on your actual situation — not generic rules of thumb.
Our Approach
3. Independent Market Review
Heirloom's process:
- Works with third-party insurance specialists to survey the broader market objectively
- Presents the most competitive options without a commission incentive
- Evaluates annuities on their merits within the context of the full financial plan
- Recommends only what serves the client's best interest
Our Approach
4. Plan Integration
Insurance is integrated with:
- Investment and retirement income strategy
- Cash flow planning — including healthcare costs in early retirement
- Estate and legacy planning where life insurance plays a structural role
- Tax planning, particularly where insurance products have tax implications
Coverage and investment strategy work together rather than in silos.

Is Insurance & Risk Management Right For You?
This service is especially valuable for:
Clients with accumulated policies
Who have accumulated policies over many years without a coordinated review of whether coverage still fits.
Anyone sold an annuity
Who isn't sure it was the right fit or can't explain what role it plays in their financial plan.
High-net-worth individuals
Whose income and assets have changed significantly since they last reviewed coverage.
Executives and business owners
With complex coverage needs tied to their company, role, or business structure.
Pre-retirees
Who need to model healthcare and insurance costs before Medicare eligibility.
If your insurance strategy hasn't been objectively audited recently, this review is worth doing.
Objective, fiduciary insurance planning — built into your financial plan, not sold alongside it.
