Question: Your clients Bob Barker and Monty Hall are Hosts and partners in a TV Game Show enterprise. They both are married. Bob is married to June and Monty is married to Sarah. They are trying to decide what insurance they need and what type of insurance would best fit their individual situations. Bob is married with two children ages 5 and 7. Monty is married with no children. The clients are considering what Insurance coverage they should look at obtaining and what options make the most sense for their individual situations. Bob and his wife June are concerned about what would happen at either's death and the impact on the household. Their priority is to provide for their children until they are finished attending post secondary school. After this point they anticipate that Insurance coverage that was orginally intended to cover the needs of the children, will be transitioned and continue for Estate considerations after the children have finished their post secondary studies. The Barkers acknowledge that they have been saving very little for future needs and spending any excess funds on entertainment and vacations. The Barkers have expressed an interest in having a policy that would allow for saving funds inside the plan, and would prefer having multiple options how to invest these funds. The Barkers also have indicated they are concerned about having to contine paying premiums should either or both become disabled. Monty Hall and his wife Sarah are much less convinced than the Barkers about the need for personal Life Insurance. Since they have no children and prefer to spend their excess income on other things.

The business partnership between Bob Barker and Monty Hall calls for Life Insurance plans that will ensure either individual's spouse is compensated, and their interest in the business is paid for, on the death of either Bob or Monty. Both Bob and Monty have agreed they don't wish to be in business with the other partner's spouse. As self-employed individuals both Bob and Monty recognize the need for Disability insurance, and agree because of their specialized occupation that they should look into this further.
