Blended families are common. But most life insurance policies weren’t set up with them in mind. And the gaps that creates can hurt the children who need protection the most.

In this episode, Lisa and Eric walk through how life insurance works when children live in multiple households, what happens when child support obligations and coverage intersect, how to structure beneficiary designations in blended family situations, and why intentional planning matters more when the picture is complicated.

Blended families need intentional coverage, not default assumptions. This episode walks you through what that looks like.

A lot of couples have been together for years, share a home, share finances, and depend on each other completely. They just never got married. And when it comes to life insurance, that distinction matters more than most people realize.

In this episode, Lisa and Eric walk through what insurable interest means for unmarried partners, how to set up coverage when you’re not legally married, and what happens to an unmarried partner financially when there’s no plan in place.

Unmarried partners have no automatic legal protection. But they can get insurable interest. This episode walks you through how that works.

Most married couples either have too much coverage on one spouse, almost none on the other, or policies set up in a way that could create problems they haven’t thought about yet.

Most couples are either over-insured on one side or completely uncovered on the other. Here’s how to fix that.
