Property & Casualty Insurance: Are You Really Protected?

August 28, 2025

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🏡 Why property & casualty insurance is often overlooked but critical

🔥 A real client story: a $3M uninsured home in wildfire territory

☂️ Why umbrella policies aren’t as “blanket” as you think

📝 Three action steps to review and close coverage gaps

Insurance may not feel like the most exciting part of financial planning but ignoring it can be costly. In this episode, Rob dives into the often-overlooked world of property and casualty insurance, where hidden gaps could leave your home, vehicles, or umbrella policies vulnerable. Many people assume that paying premiums means they’re protected, but coverage gaps can put both your wealth and your family at serious risk. Could your current policy be leaving you exposed without you even realizing it? Now is the time to find out, before it’s too late.


Rob shares real-life stories, like the client with a $3 million California home who unknowingly went three years without coverage and explains why reviewing your policies annually is essential. He also outlines the key questions you should be asking your agent. Pre-retirees and retirees will especially benefit from this discussion, since protecting your nest is just as important as building it. Tune in to make sure you aren’t one uncovered claim away from a financial disaster.
