Frequently Asked Questions
We love to meet with ‘orphans’—people who have not had contact from an agent in a while. Statistically, 62% of life insurance policyholders don’t know what they’ve got or how it works. We’re happy to provide a free, no obligation review of what you have and how it’s working. If your policy is at least five years old, there are alternatives to consider that will end up saving you money!

A change in your life circumstances is a great time to make financial adjustments. Did you know it’s possible to sell your policy for more than the cash value in some cases? There are a variety of ways to transition from traditional life protection to investments that make more sense for your future goals. Contact us today to find out how.
Ideally, you want a benefit amount that is ten times your annual salary. While that seems like a lot, it can really be very inexpensive to guarantee. Call Don to find out how much that would be for you and the wisest and most economical way to set it up. Be sure to ask how to get all your money back, too!

You always want to pack your parachute before you jump out of the plane since you can’t do it later! But one thing you may not know: it’s possible to purchase life insurance and get all your money back later when your family no longer needs that kind of protection.
Life insurance is a great place to put your ‘safe’ money, earning around 5% interest (compared to .5% at a bank). Not only that, there are no taxes on the growth of that investment.
Actually, in Minnesota, we have had guaranteed coverage for years. Now the nation is following our example. So, yes, you can get health insurance. We can help you navigate the plans to find ones that offer you the best coverage for your special circumstances.
