Why the old conversation fails

Many affluent clients do not respond to basic protection language because they believe their wealth already protects them. The more relevant question is how insurance supports the structure.

Structural roles

Insurance can provide estate liquidity, tax timing support, business continuity, equalisation among heirs and a disciplined pool of capital at the exact moment other assets may be illiquid.

Advisor lens

The conversation shifts from how much cover do you need to what role should insurance play inside the overall architecture?

Questions to sit with

  • What liquidity problem could insurance solve?
  • Which assets are illiquid during transition?
  • Does insurance sit outside or inside the family’s structure today?
Thirty minute action

Rewrite one insurance conversation as a structural liquidity conversation.
