How to choose a final expense policy

Five questions, asked in writing, separate honest offers from expensive ones. This is the checklist.

Your ZIP first. Not your phone number.The matching service that doesn’t sell you.

The five questions

  • Which benefit type is this — level, graded, or modified? And exactly what pays in years one and two?
  • Which insurance carrier issues this policy? Name, and its ratings — not the marketing brand on the mailer
  • What is the exact face amount and fixed monthly premium? On the carrier’s illustration, not a worksheet
  • Was I tier-tested? Did the agent try level-benefit eligibility across carriers before quoting graded or guaranteed issue?
  • What is the free-look period? Every state provides one (commonly 10–30 days) — a full-refund window to reconsider

Verifying the humans

Every agent must hold a life insurance license in your state — verify by name or NPN through your state insurance department’s free lookup. Legitimate agents volunteer this. Decline anything that requires deciding on the first call; fixed premiums mean tomorrow’s price equals today’s.
