Insurance Planning in Wichita, KS

Most people buy insurance the wrong way. They buy what someone sold them, not what they actually need. They're underinsured in places that matter and over-paying in places that don't. They've never had someone sit down with them and ask: if the worst happened, would your family be okay?

That's where we start. Insurance is part of your overall plan, not a separate sale. We recommend what fits your situation. If a policy makes sense, you can buy it through Mike Proctor, who holds an insurance license, or anywhere you choose. Either way, we disclose any commission before you decide.

Insurance Is a Financial Planning Tool

The right insurance coverage doesn't just pay out when something goes wrong. It's what allows you to take risk in other parts of your financial life — to invest more aggressively, to start a business, to not keep five years of income sitting in cash "just in case." We look at your insurance as part of your overall plan — not as a separate product sale.

What We Cover

Life Insurance

The question isn't "do I need life insurance?" The question is "how much, what kind, and for how long?" For most Wichita families, the answer depends on your income, your debts, how many dependents you have, and whether your spouse could maintain your family's lifestyle without your income. We run the actual numbers — not a rule-of-thumb estimate.

Term vs. whole life vs. universal life: these aren't one-size-fits-all choices. We explain the tradeoffs in plain terms and help you land on what makes sense for your situation.

Disability Insurance

Your income is your most important financial asset. If you're in your 40s earning $120,000 a year, the value of that income stream over your career is several million dollars. One injury or illness could cut it off. We see this gap constantly with Wichita aerospace and manufacturing workers, where physically demanding work increases the risk profile. We review your existing coverage, identify gaps, and recommend the right policy structures to protect your earning power.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Most people don't plan for long-term care until they're watching a parent go through it. By then it's often too late, or prohibitively expensive to buy. Long-term care insurance covers assisted living, nursing home care, and in-home care — costs that can exceed $80,000 per year in Kansas. Without a plan, these costs either fall on your family or consume the assets entrusted to your care.

We help Wichita clients in their 50s and early 60s evaluate when and whether long-term care insurance makes sense, what hybrid life/LTC products offer, and how to think about self-insuring versus transferring this risk.

Property, Casualty, and Commercial Coverage

If you're a business owner, your personal and business insurance needs are often tangled together. We work with your existing insurance providers or refer you to specialists to make sure your commercial coverage is structured correctly. We also review individual property and auto coverage as part of a comprehensive plan review, so your overall risk picture is coherent.
