Quotes & Illustrations

Capitas can assist advisors and their clients with running quotes and providing illustration requests. An insurance quote is an estimate concerning the price of a policy to offer an idea of the cost of purchasing coverage. Illustrations are the presentation or depiction of a policy’s performance over a period of years.

Life insurance coverage can change over time. That is why Capitas recommends policies be reviewed every three to five years. Clients may have existing coverage that has not been reviewed in several years. Capitas can evaluate those policies to ensure that their current needs are met.

The Capitas policy review will provide:

  • A detailed summary of the life insurance policy
  • Observations about the policy's performance
  • Possible options on how to proceed with the policy
  • A list of the potential advantages and disadvantages of each option
