Newlyweds Jamie Lee and Ross have had several milestones in the past year. They are newly married, recently purchased their first home, and now have twins on the way!

Jamie Lee and Ross have to seriously consider their insurance needs. With a family, a home, and now babies on the way, they are working on developing a risk management plan to help them should an unexpected event arise.

Jamie Lee and Ross created a Household Inventory (see Addendum C), excluding the $2,000 diamond wedding band set. They have elected not to get any further liability or other specialized coverage at this time. Currently, their home has increased in value by $15,000 since they purchased it five years ago. If something unfortunate should happen, they want to ensure that they are able to rebuild their home using the most current costs.
