Frequently Asked Questions
How much life insurance does a real estate developer need?
Coverage should at minimum match outstanding personal guarantee obligations on construction loans, which can range from $10M to $200M+ for active developers. Additional coverage protects families from having to liquidate development assets to settle estate liabilities.
Why is key person insurance critical for development companies?
Real estate development depends on principal relationships with lenders, municipalities, investors, and contractors. Losing a key developer can halt projects mid-construction, trigger lender defaults, and destroy investor returns—making key person coverage essential.
