One of your most valuable assets is your ability to earn an income.

If you or your spouse experienced a serious illness or injury, how would the loss of income impact you and your family? In addition to your day-to-day living costs a disabling injury can also lead to unexpected expenses like increased medical and household costs. To protect against financial hardship, anyone who earns money, whether single or married, with or without children, should consider a personal Disability Income Insurance policy.

Disability Income Insurance Guide:

Disability

• Some policies pay benefits if you are unable to perform the duties of your

regular occupation, while others will not pay benefits if you are fit to perform any occupation. Some policies also pay benefits if you become ill or injured and

are unable to earn a specified percentage of your income. Understanding how a disability is defined will help you to select a policy that best suits your needs.

Amount of Income

• This amount varies by policy, but a policy that pays 50 to 60 per cent of your

monthly salary (not including bonuses or commission) is the most common and most affordable option. It’s best to first evaluate your other sources of income to determine the amount of disability income coverage that you will need.

Length of Benefit Period

• You can choose to receive benefits that are payable from one year, two years, five

years or to retirement age. Opting for coverage that lasts through age 65 affords the best protection against an injury or illness that permanently removes you from the workforce.

Fine art insurance can be complicated. It all depends on how much there is, how much it is worth and what kind of coverage you want.

There are generally two types of art insurance coverage: title and property. Title insurance provides coverage in the case of a defective title. Title insurance would respond in the event that the artwork had been previously stolen or looted, which would render the current title inapplicable. This is an important coverage to have if a high valued piece of art has been through many owners, or has an unclear history.

Property insurance is kind of like homeowner’s insurance — it insures against theft or damage. In fact, your homeowner’s policy might respond to a fine art loss, up to your policy limit per item minus the deductible. For high-value art, however, additional fine art insurance should be placed, or your homeowner’s policy should be endorsed. If you have a large collection, specialty art insurance should be considered.

Insurance for works of art is especially important if the owner loans any pieces out for display at exhibitions.

Axis Insurance specializes in fine arts insurance. We will work with you to find the right kind of coverage for your works of art.
