03 / YOUR CONVERSATION
A person to talk it through
After accepting, your agent receives your contact details and preferred contact method so they can reach out about your next steps.
Shopping for life insurance shouldn't feel like a trap.

Before an agent receives leads
Brontev reviews submitted agent and license information through a manual approval process.

What New York families should know
New York has some of the strictest life insurance rules in the country. Insurers selling here must follow New York Insurance Law, and many national carriers sell New York versions of their policies through separate companies set up to meet those rules.
That makes a licensed New York agent useful. They know which carriers price well for New Yorkers, which ones accept your health history, and how New York's replacement rules work if you already have a policy.
- Regulator
- New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS)
- Free look period
- At least 10 days to review a new policy and cancel for a refund (longer when replacing a policy)
- Guaranty protection
- Life Insurance Company Guaranty Corporation of New York, up to $500,000 in death benefits per life
- Agent licensing
- Agents must hold a New York life license, which you can look up on the DFS website
New York life insurance questions
How much does term life insurance cost in New York?
A healthy 30 year old non-smoker can often find a $1 million, 20-year term policy for around $32 a month. Your actual price depends on age, health, coverage amount and the carrier. Your Brontev agent quotes real carriers for your profile.
Why are some insurers different in New York?
New York requires insurers to meet its own rules on pricing, policy terms and sales practices. Several large carriers sell here through a separate New York company, so the products and prices can differ from other states.
Can I cancel a new policy in New York?
Yes. New York gives you a free look period of at least 10 days after delivery to review the policy and cancel for a full premium refund. Replacement policies get a longer window.
Is my agent licensed in New York?
Brontev only sends New York requests to agents with an approved New York life license. You can confirm any agent's license on the DFS producer lookup.
