For those that have never watched it Andy Dufresne is imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover. Long story short (spoiler alert!) he gets out and manages a sizeable financial windfall in the process. His best pal Red narrates that he blew town with the better part of $370,000 dollars!

He was so helpful with regards to talking us through every option, and was more than happy to go back and forth to ensure we got the right insurance for our needs. I think because Blair has a young family, like us, he really understood the importance of getting it right, so our children would be taken care of should anything happen to either one of us.
