At PKIG, one of our main goals is to simplify insurance concepts as much as possible for our clients. There are a LOT of reasons to purchase life insurance and a LOT of different kinds of policies. It can be very confusing.

Some of these reasons are for more sophisticated concepts such as estate or retirement planning. PKIG can help with nearly any type of scenario.

That said, the key question to determine whether you need life insurance or not is would your death result in financial strain for another person? If the answer is yes in any capacity, you likely need life insurance of some sort.

You might think the process to qualify and purchase a policy is invasive and challenging but that’s not the case. In fact, you can buy a policy online without a medical exam or phone interview in just a few minutes. Just click here to try it out.

If you’re not quite ready to pull the trigger and need a more detailed consultation, please call us at (248) 682-7445 or email info@pkig.com today.
