Q&A with Shlomo Peretz
Can I change my beneficiary on a life insurance policy?
Answer: Yes, you can generally change the beneficiary on your life insurance policy at any time as long as you are the recognized policy owner. However, your ability to make updates depends on how the original beneficiary was classified and your current legal circumstances.
Why do so many people let their life insurance policies lapse?
Answer: Many people let their life insurance policies lapse because they view them as an expense rather than part of a long-term financial plan. When money gets tight, they often cut premiums before other bills, especially since the benefit is not immediately visible. Others don’t fully understand their policy, buy the wrong type or amount of coverage, experience life changes, or assume they can always buy a new policy later. Without regular reviews and a clear connection to goals like protecting family, building wealth, or leaving a legacy, insurance can feel less important over time—until it’s needed most.
How long does it take to get approved for life insurance?
Answer: It takes anywhere from a few minutes to eight weeks to get approved for life insurance. The exact timeline depends heavily on the type of policy you choose and how deeply the insurance company needs to review your health.
What role does corporate governance play in a life insurance company's reliability?
Answer: Corporate governance directly dictates a life insurance company’s financial solvency, risk management, and long-term ability to honor claims decades into the future. Because life insurers collect premiums today for promises they may not fulfill for 30, 40, or 50 years, a strict governance framework prevents executive short-termism from eroding future policyholder security.
How do life insurance agents get paid, and does using one cost me more?
Answer: Life insurance agents are paid via commissions built directly into the policy's premium, meaning using an agent does not cost you any extra money. Insurance rates are heavily regulated and filed with state insurance departments. The price of a specific policy is legally required to be exactly the same whether you buy it through an agent, a broker, or directly from the insurance company's website.
