Best Answer

A long term care (LTC) insurance policy secures financing your long term care needs in the future. With the increasing cost of ltc facilities and services which could go up to more than $100,000 / year depending on which state you are located, you lifetime savings could be easily depleted by paying care out of pocket. You can also avoid being a burden to family members when you are no longer able to perform activities of daily living. In addition, you get quality care where you need it, when you need it.

When you buy a new or used car how long do you have to get insurance?

You must have insurance on the vehicle as soon as you purchase it. The nice part though, is that, if you already have an insurance policy for another vehicle, or if you are on a family policy and someone else in the family has a car with insurance, and you are listed as a driver on the family policy, that company will most likely cover your new auto purchase for a 15 day period, sometimes even a 30 day period. Check with your insurance agent for exact times as they vary with each company
