Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do storage facility owners need life insurance?

Self-storage facilities typically carry significant commercial mortgage debt. If an owner dies, the surviving family or partners must continue mortgage payments or face property loss. Life insurance provides the funds to pay off or service the mortgage while an orderly transition is planned.

How should storage facility co-owners structure buy-sell coverage?

Cross-purchase buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance are common among storage facility partners. Coverage should reflect each partner's proportional share of facility value, including the commercial property, improvements, and operating goodwill.
