Key person insurance is life insurance that a business owns, pays for, and collects from when the covered person dies. On a farm, that person is often the operator who makes planting, breeding, harvest or grove decisions, or a partner who holds the buyer and lender relationships. This guide explains how key person insurance farm business coverage works, what the death benefit can and cannot do, and how a coverage review fits in.<\/p>\n

What Key Person Insurance Is and Who It Fits on a Farm<\/h2>\n

Key person insurance is a policy the business applies for, owns, and pays premiums on. The business is also the beneficiary, so the business receives the death benefit. The insured person is someone whose loss would seriously hurt the operation.<\/p>\n

It fits several farm setups. A sole proprietor with a key worker may use it. Family farms, LLCs and partnerships where one person runs daily work often use it too. Florida law lets a partnership, LLC or corporation have an insurable interest in its owners, partners, managers and key employees. The business must get written consent from that person before buying the coverage (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 627.404<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Insurance is offered through Nischay Rawal, a licensed insurance agent in Florida, separately from the accounting practice of NR CPAs & Business Advisors. Florida law requires an agent to make clear that they act as an insurance agent when selling insurance (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 626.9531<\/a>). Any specific policy we discuss will name its insurer.<\/p>\n\n
