Hands assembling white puzzle pieces on a black surface. Green text reads, "TEAM approach to Life Insurance Review." Collaborative vibe.
LIR’s TEAM-based approach drives our success, enabling us to deliver the most comprehensive and impactful results for clients.

Since 2011, LifeInsuranceReview.com (LIR) has been a trusted, independent consumer and professional resource in the complex world of life insurance. Founded by a licensed fiduciary financial and tax planner, LIR was built to empower consumers and professionals with unbiased, expert guidance—not sales-driven advice.


A Trusted Resource for CPAs, Estate Attorneys, and Investment Advisors

From its inception, LIR has been a go-to resource for CPAs, estate attorneys, and investment advisors seeking expert, unbiased life insurance policy reviews for their clients. These professionals rely on LIR’s fiduciary-driven approach to help navigate:


✔️ Complex estate planning strategies

✔️ Tax-efficient insurance structuring

✔️ Proper policy funding and risk assessment

✔️ Objective, third-party policy evaluations


Unlike traditional agents and brokers, LIR does not focus on selling policies—instead, we provide counsel and independent analysis, ensuring that financial professionals and their clients receive transparent, accurate insights into their policies.


Why Consumers & Professionals Trust LifeInsuranceReview.com

Most life insurance professionals operate independently or as part of a sales-driven agency. In contrast, LIR takes a TEAM-based approach, combining the expertise of licensed life insurance analysts, fiduciary advisors, and product specialists with backgrounds in:


✔️ Accounting, auditing, and tax planning

✔️ Product development insights

✔️ Financial and estate planning


This collaborative review process ensures that every policy assessment is thorough, objective, and consumer-centric—not commission-driven.


LIR: A Fiduciary-Driven Life Insurance Agency

In addition to offering independent policy reviews, LIR is also a full-service life insurance agency. This means we:


✔️ Help clients optimize existing policies

✔️ Offer new life insurance products when appropriate

✔️ Ensure all recommendations are fiduciary-driven and in the client’s best interest


Unlike traditional agencies, LIR is not tied to any one insurance company. Our focus is on matching clients with the best solutions based on their financial goals—not on commissions or quotas.


The Importance of a Second Opinion from a Fiduciary Expert

Many life insurance policies are misunderstood, outdated, or underperforming, yet most policyholders never seek a second opinion beyond the agent who sold them the policy. As fiduciary advisors, LIR ensures that every policyholder and professional receives counsel, not a sales pitch—helping them make decisions based on objective, expert analysis.


LIR’s Proprietary 28-Point Life Insurance Review Checklist

To provide a structured and in-depth analysis, LIR developed a proprietary 28-point single-page checklist that evaluates:


✔️ Policy performance vs. original projections

✔️ Fees, costs, and potential savings

✔️ Living benefits and conversion options

✔️ Tax efficiency and estate planning considerations


Our TEAM approach to Life insurance review is a rigorous process to ensure that every client—whether an individual policyholder or a financial professional—receives a clear, unbiased assessment of their options.


TEAM Approach to Life Insurance Review: A Fiduciary-Driven, Consumer & Professional Resource

LifeInsuranceReview.com is built on the principle that life insurance is a valuable financial asset—but only when properly structured, reviewed, and understood. By working with a collective team of fiduciary experts, both consumers and financial professionals gain access to transparent, well-informed policy reviews that put their best interests first.

We had a survivorship policy for about 6 years and when I got my policy reviewed, I learned that I can apply for a new policy with another company via 1035 exchange with $1.6M higher coverage and longer guarantee age. This was because I was also a pilot with now more than 900hrs, and that I qualified for the best health rating at some insurance companies. Our original agent never bothered to follow-up with us to explore any other options, except to make sure we were paying our annual premiums.
