If their spouse becomes disabled, what will that do to their standard of living? Will they still be able to pay their bills and maintain a comfortable standard of living?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you know a Business Owner who has a Business Loan?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;He or she has (hopefully) understood the need for and has purchased personal disability income insurance. The amount purchased was probably &lt;strong&gt;40% to 60% (tax-free benefit)&lt;/strong&gt; of his or her personal income and was intended to cover personal living expenses NOT business obligations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;What about the &lt;strong&gt;business loan(s)&lt;/strong&gt; that may carry a personal guarantee? Were you aware there is a product available that is designed to cover this specific contingency? And the personal benefit limitation of 40% to 60% of personal income does &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; apply? In most cases, &lt;strong&gt;the full amount&lt;/strong&gt; of the remaining loan balance can be insured (in addition to any personal disability insurance the owner may have).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;I've been creating solutions like these for the past 3700 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Comments, please ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4175741362669056151-6742266240391160125?l=benefitslab.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benefitslab.blogspot.com/feeds/6742266240391160125/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4175741362669056151&amp;postID=6742266240391160125' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4175741362669056151/posts/default/6742266240391160125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4175741362669056151/posts/default/6742266240391160125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benefitslab.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-quick-thoughts-on-disability.html' title='Two Quick Thoughts on Disability Insurance'/><author><name>Russ Swallow</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
