Getting Started
The basics
Yes. A quote and a conversation with Jorge are completely free, with no obligation. You never pay a fee to work with an independent agent; agents are paid by the carrier when you choose a policy.

On qualifying plans, some clients are approved and covered the same day. Most families are protected within a day or two. It depends on the product and the carrier.
Yes. Your information is used only to prepare your quote and help you get covered. It is never sold, and you decide what happens next.
Qualifying & Health
Can I get covered?
Often no. Many final expense and life plans use a few health questions instead of an exam, and guaranteed-issue options exist even for people who have been declined before. Larger coverage amounts may request an exam.
Very often, yes. Carriers underwrite differently, which is why shopping multiple A-rated carriers matters. As an independent agent, Jorge can usually find a fit even for people managing health issues.
Probably not. Final expense plans commonly cover ages 50 to 85, and there are options across the life-insurance products for many ages. The best way to know is a quick, free call.
A decline from one carrier doesn't mean a decline from all of them, and guaranteed-issue plans accept applicants within an age range with no health questions. Let Jorge shop it for you.
The Products
Which coverage is right?
Final expense is small whole life built for funeral costs. Whole life is permanent coverage that builds cash value. Term is affordable temporary coverage for 10, 20, or 30 years. IUL is permanent coverage whose cash value can grow with a market index, within a cap and a floor. Each has its own page on this site.
It depends on the job you need it to do, cover a funeral, protect a mortgage, leave a legacy, or build tax-advantaged value. Many families use a mix. Jorge helps you match the product to your goal and budget.
Enough to do the job, and not a dollar more than you need. For final expense that's often $10,000 to $15,000; for income protection it's often around 10 times your income plus debts. Jorge sizes it with you.
On whole life and final expense, no, the premium is locked for life. On term, it stays level for the length of the term. IUL premiums are flexible within the policy's limits.
