February is all about love. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 4 million people will get engaged on Valentine’s Day!

And with all of that love and wedding planning in the air, it can be hard to think about the boring parts of a marriage.

So I want to make it easy for you. Here are a few things you need to think about in regards to your insurance policies when you tie the knot.

1. Combine your auto insurance policies.

If you both own a vehicle, the easiest thing to do is combine your policies by adding your spouse
and their vehicle to your policy. We can take care of this in just a few minutes!

2. Make sure you and your spouse are listed on every policy.

You both need to be on the homeowners or renters insurance so you can
get assistance if needed. Do all of them at the same time and you won’t have to worry about it again.

3. Schedule an overall review.

 When you combine two households you will obviously have more belongings! Speak with your agent and verify that you have enough content and liability insurance to cover any new assets.

4. Purchase life insurance.

It’s your honeymoon and you don’t want to think about death, but now is the time to get this very important coverage in place. It doesn't cost much and will give you peace of mind that the person you love will be taken care of in the future. It’s really the very best gift you can give to those you love.

The best part of this? It doesn't have to be hard! In fact, one short
appointment can take care of every item on the list. Give us a call at 360-452-9200 to schedule a review with one of our agents today.
