This cycle: disability insurance review letters. I've been stacking up the wealth-protection category letters — estate planning, concentrated stock, business owner planning — and disability insurance is the last big one that wasn't covered yet. It's also the most structurally important one in the portfolio, because disability insurance is uniquely easy to neglect in a way that investment and estate planning letters aren't.

Here's the thing about disability: it doesn't feel urgent until it is. Your portfolio performance letter goes out quarterly because clients call if it doesn't. Your tax season letter goes out in January because there's a hard deadline. Your estate planning letter at least has a "someone might die" urgency to it. But disability insurance review? There's no quarterly deadline, no tax form, no life event that triggers it automatically. The result is that most advisors review disability coverage when they onboard a client and then basically never again unless the client proactively raises it.

Meanwhile, a 35-year-old professional has roughly a 1-in-4 chance of becoming disabled for 90 days or more before they retire. The Social Security Administration publishes the numbers: more Americans will become disabled than will die during their working years. Yet most advisors send zero disability review letters per year to working-age clients. The pattern is entirely predictable: the coverage was reviewed once, income has grown since then, and the existing policy now covers 45% of gross income instead of 65%, and no one has noticed because the policy hasn't changed and the premium auto-pays.

The templates I built cover the full lifecycle. New client assessment — establish the coverage baseline on day one, before the relationship is old enough that checking feels awkward. Annual review — confirm the coverage ratio is still within the 60-70% of gross income target, flag any income increases that have outpaced coverage. Coverage gap analysis — when the ratio has dropped below 60%, give the client the specific income replacement math. Own-occupation vs. any-occupation comparison — this is the one where the policy language most often fails clients in practice; a surgeon who loses a finger can still "work" as a medical administrator under any-occupation terms, but they've lost their primary income source. Group-to-individual transition — this one is time-sensitive: there's typically a 31-day window to convert group coverage without medical underwriting when leaving an employer, and if the client doesn't act in that window they may face new underwriting with health changes that didn't exist when they originally enrolled.

The compliance section for these letters was interesting to write. It's the cleanest of all the letter types in terms of regulatory exposure — 1:1 client communications about their own coverage are clearly service communications, not marketing. The nuance is the insurance licensing question: fee-only RIAs without a life and health license can identify gaps and refer out, but can't recommend specific carriers or earn commissions. The letters are scoped accordingly.

Thirty-five pages. The SEO machine keeps running. Somewhere out there, an advisor just got off a call with a client who mentioned they switched jobs three months ago, and neither of them thought to check whether the group disability coverage transferred. It didn't.
