The Importance of Reviewing Your Insurance Annually

Insurance—such as auto, home and renters—is a cornerstone of financial security, protecting your assets and providing peace of mind. However, conducting an annual review of your policies is critical to ensure robust coverage and avoid out-of-pocket expenses should you need to claim. Here are several reasons reviewing your insurance is beneficial: 

• Adapting to lifestyle changes—Life is dynamic, and your insurance needs can change. Major life events such as purchasing a new home, retiring or getting married can introduce new coverage requirements. An annual review can help ensure your policies align with your current situation, providing robust protection for your evolving lifestyle. 

• Reflecting property changes—Whether you’ve added a new room, installed a swimming pool or upgraded your home’s electrical system, these changes can impact your insurance needs. For example, adding a swimming pool can increase your liability risk. If your policy isn’t updated to reflect these enhancements, you might find yourself underinsured in the event of a claim. Regularly reviewing your insurance can help maintain appropriate coverage limits and prevent unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. 

• Benefiting from policy enhancements—Insurance companies may update their policies and introduce new features, such as additional coverage options or loyalty rewards. Reviewing your insurance regularly lets you stay informed about these updates and take advantage of new benefits.  

• Optimizing financial protection—Assessing your insurance coverage regularly can help identify areas where you might be over- or underinsured. By fine-tuning your policies, you can avoid paying for unnecessary coverage while ensuring you have adequate protection matched to your current circumstances.
