We know a lot of you already recognize the importance of insurance, especially life insurance. However though, in the years of Axis Capital, with our group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered from our main base in Bahamas to Singapore, America and United Kingdom, we have encountered a lot of people who has a lot of reason not to purchase one. Here are some of their points: 1. I'm Young, Healthy, Won't Die Anytime Soon and Just Don't Need It Life insurance's main importance is to have SOMETHING TO LEAVE BEHIND FOR YOUR LOVED ONES WHEN YOU PASS AWAY. Often time's people put off the things that they need for the things that they want. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that 99% of the families with dependent children in this country, NEED life insurance. No one buys life insurance with the hope or expectation of using it. Just like everyone has to buy car insurance without the expectation of needing it either. You purchase it with the hope that you won't need it but can sleep sound at night knowing that if something happened to you, your family would be taken care of financially. 2. I'll Purchase It Sometime Soon or I Don't Have Time For It Procrastination is one of our biggest problems in society. Life insurance, though, is not one of those things that should be put aside till later. Despite the fact that we all believe we'll live long lives, well into our senior years, the devastating effect that not having life insurance could have on your family is immeasurable. 3. I Have Plenty Of Assets, I Don't Need Life Insurance Life insurance is meant to conserve an individual's estate for their survivors, as well as replace lost income. Although expecting your surviving family members to review and liquidate their assets to make ends meet is not a horrible thing, or unheard of;

From tsunamis in Sumatra affecting lives to almost all islands in Indonesia including Jakarta in 2004 to earthquakes in Japan losing millions of dollars and hundreds of lives in 2011 to typhoon Katrina which devastated not only America but other countries as well, insurance companies have the reason to insure their own business. Take precautions, listen to warnings and make preparations. 2. Older homes You love the charm of your 1920s bungalow or Victorian-era home, but the age and style make them harder to insure. Insurers also are likely to shy away from insuring your home if the electrical system and plumbing haven't been updated or the roof hasn't been replaced. 3. Vacation homes Your vacation home may be your own personal retreat, but because it's unoccupied much of the year; it can be a challenge to insure.
