Questions about life insurance agents in South Carolina

Is a life insurance agent free to work with?

Yes. Life insurance agents are paid a commission by the carrier that issues your policy. Your premium is the same whether you buy through an agent or directly.

What is final expense insurance?

A small whole life policy, usually between a few thousand and thirty thousand dollars, designed to cover funeral costs and small debts. It is popular with people over 50 because approval is simplified and the premium never changes.

Term or whole life: which do I need?

Term life covers a set number of years for a low premium and suits income replacement while you have a mortgage or young children. Whole life lasts your entire life and builds cash value at a higher premium. An independent agent can quote both across several carriers.

Can I buy life insurance if I have health conditions?

Often, yes. Carriers price conditions differently, which is exactly why an independent agent who works with several carriers can matter. Some policies use simplified or guaranteed underwriting with no medical exam.
