A Long-Term Care Insurance Plan That We Really Like
As you may have heard, the costs of long-term care (LTC) keep going up, with no end currently in sight. And along with those costs of care, the premiums for LTC insurance have also risen tremendously over the past 15 years, just to keep up. Did you know that your long-term care insurance premiums can rise even when you’ve already got a policy in force? And what if you never even need to use that policy? In the minds of many, long-term care insurance seems like a potential waste of money.
With the uncertainties of costs, and not knowing if you’ll ever need the policy in the first place, planning for what could be a huge expense out of your nest egg is difficult at best. Nobody wants to have their retirement savings decimated by the cost of long-term care. Yet this is exactly what often happens to people who don’t prepare for those expenses. Since planning is ultimately about finding potential solutions to problems down the road, we have what we believe may be just the right answer to these LTC issues.
On this week’s edition of Lucia Capital Group Weekly, our “Professor” Rick Plum talks about a type of life insurance that allows you to access the policy’s death benefit before you die to help pay for your long-term care needs. That’s right: “use it or lose it” LTC insurance may soon be a thing of the past. Check out this week’s video to get the details!
