Frequently Asked Questions
What does a life insurance agent do?
A life insurance agent helps you understand coverage options, calculate how much protection you actually need, and choose policies that align with your financial and family goals. My role is to educate, guide, and answer questions — not push you into a product.
How much life insurance do I really need?
The amount depends on your income, debts, family responsibilities, and long-term goals. A common rule of thumb is to consider coverage that replaces 7–10x your annual income and covers major expenses like mortgage, education costs, and final expenses. I help you tailor this to your unique situation.
What’s the difference between term and whole life insurance?
Term life insurance covers you for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years) and is usually more affordable.
Whole life insurance lasts your entire life and builds cash value that you can access while alive.
The right choice depends on your timeline, budget, and goals.
What is indexed universal life (IUL) insurance?
Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance that offers downside protection while participating in a market index’s upside. It’s flexible and can build cash value over time — but it’s not suitable for everyone. I explain when it makes sense.
What if I am single and don’t have children?
Life insurance can still be a smart choice. It may help cover final expenses, pay off debts, protect a co-signed mortgage, or contribute to long-term planning strategies beyond death benefits.
Can I change my policy later?
Some policies offer flexibility; others do not. That’s why understanding the structure up front matters. I help you choose coverage that fits today and your future plans.
What happens if I already have a life insurance policy?
I can review your existing coverage to see if it still makes sense for your goals. Many people find opportunities to fill gaps, reduce costs, or align coverage with new financial priorities.
How much does life insurance cost?
Premiums are based on age, health, lifestyle, and the amount of coverage you choose. There’s no one-size-fits-all price, but many people are surprised how affordable coverage can be once we review options together.
How long does it take to get life insurance?
Timeline varies: simple term policies can be approved in days. Permanent coverage typically takes longer due to underwriting and possible medical exams. I walk you through each step so there are no surprises.
Do I need a medical exam?
Not always. Some policies offer no-exam approval for qualified applicants. Other cases may require health information, labs, or records. I explain what to expect based on your situation.
Is there any obligation when I schedule a consultation?
No. Consultations are free and no-obligation. The goal is simply to provide clarity and answer your questions so you can decide what’s best for you.
Do you only work with clients in Rancho Cucamonga?
I primarily serve clients in Rancho Cucamonga and nearby Inland Empire communities, but I may also work with clients elsewhere in California depending on the situation. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to ask.
