Free, no-obligation policy checkup

Is your life insurance still working for you?

Many policies bought 10, 20 or 30 years ago aren't doing what their owners think. Interest rates fell, premiums rose and families changed. We'll show you, in plain English, where your policy stands and what your options are.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your policy

    A one-minute form or a quick call. Your most recent annual statement helps, but isn't required.

  2. 2

    We get the real numbers

    With your signed permission, we request an up-to-date projection (an "in-force illustration") from your insurance company.

  3. 3

    You get a plain-English review

    We walk you through what we found and every option you have, including keeping things exactly as they are. You decide.

What you get: a one-page answer

No jargon and no sales pitch. Your review summarizes what your insurance company's own numbers say, then lays out every realistic option side by side, including keeping things as they are.

  • How long your coverage lasts at today's premium
  • What the cash value and surrender value really are
  • What each option would change, and what it would cost
  • Deadlines you shouldn't miss (like term conversion)

You keep the review either way.

  4. 1035 exchange. New policy, subject to health underwriting.
  5. Sell (life settlement). If coverage is no longer needed.

What we might find

Often, keeping your current policy is the right answer, and we'll tell you if it is. Other times, there's a better path:

Keep it as is
Your policy is on track. You leave with peace of mind and a clear picture.
Adjust it
Change premiums or coverage so the policy lasts as long as you need it.
Exchange it
Move the cash value into a newer policy through a tax-free 1035 exchange, which may lower your costs or increase your coverage.
Convert it
Turn an expiring term policy into permanent coverage, often without a new medical exam.
Sell it
If you no longer need the coverage, a life settlement may pay you more than the policy's surrender value.

Any change depends on your age, health, goals and underwriting approval. We never recommend cancelling a policy before new coverage is in force. We don't give tax or legal advice; please consult your own advisor.

The 1-minute self-check

Five quick questions. You'll get a plain answer on whether a review makes sense, and why.

1. Do you own a universal life or whole life policy bought before 2010?
2. Does a term policy's level premium end within the next 5 years?
3. Has your premium gone up, or have you received a notice that your policy may lapse?
4. Have your needs changed since you bought it (kids grown, home paid off, business sold, retired)?
5. Has it been more than 3 years since anyone reviewed your policy with you?

Questions people ask

What does the review cost?

Nothing. The review is free and there's no obligation. If you decide to make a change, we're paid by the insurance company, as licensed agents typically are.

Will you cancel or change my policy?

No. Nothing changes unless you decide it should, in writing. We never recommend letting a policy go until any new coverage is fully in force.

What do I need to get started?

Your most recent annual statement is ideal. If you can't find it, the insurance company name and policy number are enough. With your signed permission, we request the details for you.

Who will I be talking to?

A licensed life insurance agent with HSK Insurance Solutions, a California-licensed agency (license #0I06343) based in San Diego. Not a call center, and nobody will pressure you.

How do I know you're legitimate?

Good question to ask. You can look up our California agency license, #0I06343, on the Department of Insurance website. We're based at 4719 Viewridge Avenue in San Diego. We will never ask for your Social Security number, bank or card details online, and we never pressure anyone to decide on the first call.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. We use your information only to review your coverage and contact you about it. We don't sell your information. See our privacy policy.

What is a 1035 exchange?

Section 1035 of the tax code lets you move the cash value of one life insurance policy into another without paying tax on the gain at that time. Whether it makes sense depends on your health, costs and goals. We'll show you the trade-offs, including any surrender charges and the new policy's contestability period.

What is a life settlement?

A life settlement is the sale of a policy you no longer need to a third party, typically for more than the insurer's cash surrender value. It's generally available to people 65 and older or with certain health changes. Proceeds may be taxable, so please talk with your tax advisor.
