Life insurance advisors understand the critical importance of advance planning. While traditional life insurance offers comprehensive coverage, there are scenarios that demand immediate attention and innovative solutions. Enter the Excess Lines Market, a powerful resource that provides two essential products for advisors: Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) and Contractual Performance Indemnity (CPI).
Accidental Death & Dismemberment: A Flexible Alternative
AD&D serves as an alternative, supplement, or short-term solution for individuals facing challenges in obtaining sufficient amounts of traditional life insurance. Key features include benefit amounts exceeding $100 million per person, 24-hour worldwide coverage, and policy terms ranging from 1 day to 3 years. This product becomes invaluable when urgent life insurance requests land on your desk, demanding quick action to meet contractual obligations.
We recently shared a case study on a highly compensated executive gearing up for a 3-week African Safari. The traditional life insurance carriers had declined to provide the necessary coverage forcing the advisor to seek support outside the domestic market.

Contractual Performance Indemnity: Swift Coverage for Contractual Needs
CPI is tailored for urgent contractual situations, providing coverage for death or disability risks. With benefit amounts reaching up to $25 million per person, 24-hour worldwide coverage, and streamlined underwriting with a 24-hour cycle time, CPI is a go-to solution for scenarios such as mergers and acquisitions, risky activities, international travel, and short notice life insurance needs for loans or contractual obligations.
