Term or permanent — which is right for me?

It depends on what you're protecting. Term is usually a great fit for income replacement during working years. Permanent life makes sense for long-term obligations, business continuity, or estate planning. Often a blend is the answer — we'll figure it out together.

How much coverage do I actually need?

A common rule of thumb is 10–12x your annual income, but it's better to do the math: income replacement, mortgage, college, debts, and final expenses. I'll walk you through it for free.

Do I need a medical exam?

Sometimes. Many policies now qualify for no-exam underwriting, often issued in days. I'll match you with the carrier most likely to approve quickly and at a great rate.

Can I get life insurance with a pre-existing condition?

In most cases, yes. Carriers underwrite different conditions very differently — being independent means I can shop your situation to the carriers most likely to offer favorable rates.

Should my spouse have their own policy?

Usually, yes — even if one spouse doesn't earn income. The cost of replacing childcare, household management, and lost benefits is significant and well worth covering.
