If you enjoy riding your ATV up in the mountains or down in the desert, you’re usually far away from other vehicles or pedestrians. You’re often also a great distance from solid objects – such as buildings and light poles to run into. It’s mainly just you, your vehicle, and the ground beneath your wheels. So you may well ask yourself why insurance is even necessary.

There are a couple of valid reasons to seriously consider off road insurance:

• It’s likely you spent a good sum of money on your off road vehicle. In the event of a theft or fire, you’ll probably want to replace it without using your savings.
• No matter how far from civilization you are, an accident can still occur. You are still at risk of causing injury to yourself or another, or damage to someone’s property and your own vehicle. A simple roll over can cause significant damage and certainly result in injury.
• Your vehicle may suffer damage in a variety of other ways. For example, it may be involved in an accident whilst being transported or damaged in a severe storm or a fire at your home.

Whether your off road vehicle is an ATV, a dune buggy, or a dirt bike, we can arrange the coverage you need at a great price. Complete the online form for a quote or call Bekan Insurance Group to arrange your off road insurance.

Did you know that you can take out whole life insurance just to provide your children with an inheritance on your passing? Most of us see life insurance simply as a way to protect our loved ones against financial loss if we pass away unexpectedly. It can help to cover the children’s educational costs, pay off the mortgage and ensure our family aren’t crippled by debt in the wake of our departure.

Life is expensive these days and it’s as difficult as ever to build a strong asset base that you can pass on to your children in the event of your death. If you are like many middle aged parents, you may be still paying off a home mortgage, if not a car and other assets – or even liabilities. In the event of your untimely death, would there be an inheritance for your children?

If not, you can take out a whole life insurance policy now to ensure that there will be.

Consider taking out life insurance as early in life as you can as the premiums will become more expensive as you age and become a higher risk.

Umbrella insurance isn’t strictly for the rich and famous, although if you have a lot to lose – whether materially or financially – this is probably a policy you should seriously consider. But then again, you don’t have to be wealthy person to get sued like one. After all, we live in a lawsuit happy world, and being prepared for a potentially crippling lawsuit is a critical plan.

So, who should have umbrella insurance? Well, if you throw a lot of parties where the booze is flowing, for instance, be on the safe side and get covered. If you run a business or own and rent property, get covered. If you’re a newsworthy individual and often speak with news reporters, get covered. If you have a lot of nice stuff, including motorcycles, jet skis and such, get covered. If you drive a lot of miles or have teenage children that drive, the potential for the sort of accident where you might end up in court is increased. Lastly, if you live in such a way that gives the impression you’re rich, you may be a potential target – so get covered.

Now that the kids are making their own way in life, your life insurance needs may have altered, but they probably haven’t disappeared. Think twice before cancelling your policy or significantly downgrading the level of coverage.

You’ve no doubt worked hard to establish your existing assets and it’s likely you hope your children will benefit from your hard work in the future. Life insurance can help you ensure that your assets are there for them.

You still have each other to care for and when one of you is no longer around, there is no doubt that life will change dramatically for the remaining partner. Income may be reduced and household expenses may increase. Should health issues arise for the remaining partner, it’s likely that medical costs will be an added burden. A paid caretaker or in-home nursing may one day be required. Your partner may be placed in a position where assets must be sold off to cope with additional expenses. The inheritance you had hoped to leave your children may diminish over the years.

If you maintain adequate life insurance, this need not be the case. Consider leaving your death benefit at a level that would cover your partner’s living expenses in the years to come and allow for a few unexpected expenses.

How can whole life insurance help to ensure your family’s future?

None of us like to think about what might occur if we were to be involved in a fatal accident or became terminally ill before our time. But not thinking about it can seriously affect your family’s future. Here are just some of the ways your family could be disadvantaged by your unexpected death:

-There would be funeral expenses to pay, and if there’s no ready cash available, family members may have to borrow funds or use the last of their own savings to pay for it.

-If you’re the main income provider for your family, your death may place them in an uncertain financial position. They may have to relocate or sell assets to cope until they’re able to adjust to a different lifestyle.

-If your partner cares for the children and doesn’t have a salary job, your family may experience significant financial difficulties. Your partner may not be able to provide the education you were hoping to provide for your children.

-Family expenses may increase. It’s likely you helped with a number of tasks around the home (lawn or auto repair, house painting, etc). Your partner may now have to pay someone to do these things.

Having an adequate whole life insurance policy in place can ensure that your family isn’t financially disadvantaged by your passing.

If you knew the questions that you were going to be asked on a game show beforehand, chances are you’d probably do very well. Life isn’t a game show, however; and it’s rare anybody becomes wealthy just from knowing the answers to a few trivial questions.

Nevertheless, you may just feel like a game show winner if you’re ready for the questions your agent or broker might ask you when you’re purchasing umbrella insurance. Naturally, you’re not going to know everything they’ll ask. But the more you know, the better it will go.

You might be asked what you own in addition to your auto. Do you have any other motorized vehicles, such as motorcycles or mopeds? And this may be an uncomfortable one, but are there any drivers in your household with mental or physical impairments? You might be quizzed about whether or not you have any employees at your residence. Your agent or broker might also ask if you care for any property that is not your own which exceeds a value of $1,000.

Knowing how to respond to these questions won’t make the audience go wild or cause some witty game show host to reach over and shake your hand, but by being prepared, you’ll help the process go a whole lot faster.

Most people consider taking out life insurance at some stage. It’s usually because they want to ensure that someone they love wouldn’t be place in difficult financial circumstances if they were to meet an untimely death.

Parents often think about what would become of their children if they were suddenly no longer around to provide for their future. Sure, there may be relatives who would take care of them as best they could, but could those relatives afford to feed, clothe, and school an extra couple of children unexpectedly? It’s a big responsibility, and parents want to be certain their kids would be well cared for.

Whole life insurance can be expensive, particularly if you’re not a young adult when you decide you need a policy. All life policies become more expensive as you age. That’s where term life insurance comes in. It covers a specified period rather than your entire life span, so it’s an ideal way of covering the period during which the children will be at school, or the duration of your home mortgage.

Before purchasing a term life insurance policy, be clear about the benefits that would be received. While most policies maintain the same benefit as years go by, some policies have a decreasing benefit within the policy period.

There are few experiences scarier than an earthquake. When the ground starts to shake, there’s no telling how long that shaking will last or how much damage it will do. There are people in some parts of the world that have never experienced even so much as a tremor.

Even if you haven’t been through a quake yourself, you’ve seen the damage they can do on news reports. Whole buildings collapse and sometimes must be torn down and hauled away. Thus, if you’re in a region where quakes are likely to occur, you ought to seriously consider retrofitting your building and purchasing general business insurance that covers earthquakes. Even if you’re not in a known earthquake zone, there may still be a small risk associated with your area.

What should you think about before buying earthquake insurance? The main consideration is to ensure that you have an adequate amount of insurance to cover the replacement of property and business equipment. As a business owner, it would also be wise to take out business interruption insurance that would be sufficient to cover your income for a substantial period. An earthquake may shut down your business for a considerable time, but even if your building isn’t significantly damaged, you may suffer a loss of trade if the population in the area decreases or most of the area surrounding your business is damaged.

Have you ever thought about what your children would do if you were involved in a fatal accident or contracted a terminal illness? It’s a horrible thought, but certainly one that occurs to most parents. We’d all hope that in the event of our death, a relative would step in to care for our children – but unless that relative is flush with funds, the financial strain of additional children to raise could make their life, and the lives of your children, extremely stressful. Would your children receive the quality education you had planned for them? Would they be able to follow their artistic dreams without undue financial pressures?

Taking out a term life insurance policy is one way of protecting your children’s future in your absence. Term life insurance is generally cheaper than “whole life” insurance and is designed to cover a particular period of time. For example, if your children are quite young you might wish to take out a 20 year term life policy, which would provide them with a financial benefit if the worst happened to you during that period. By the end of the 20 year period your children would have obtained their education and be beginning to make their own way financially.

Whether you’re planning a short overseas trip or the holiday of a lifetime, consider taking out travel insurance so you can enjoy every day of it knowing that you’re covered for unfortunate events that may occur.

There are three main concerns for travellers:

• -Trip cancellation
• -Lost or stolen baggage or personal possessions
• -Medical emergencies

You can purchase insurance to cover each of these concerns.

Trip cancellation insurance will cover you if the tour operator or travel agent goes out of business after you’ve paid for your trip, or if you have to cancel your trip due to circumstances specified in your policy. This might include illness, job loss, or even changing circumstances in the country you were destined for that make travel there no longer safe.

Whether the airline loses your baggage, your hotel room is broken into, or your handbag snatched, travel insurance for personal possessions is likely to cover it. Before paying for unnecessary insurance, check your homeowner or renters insurance policy to see if there is coverage for your personal possessions away from your residence, and overseas.

Medical insurance for travel is a very wise purchase. It should cover the cost if you need to be evacuated after a medical emergency, if you need to be rescued after an accident, or if you need medical treatment for illness or injury in a foreign country.
