Questions before you get started
Do you serve residents in every county in New York?
Residents of all 62 counties and county equivalents in New York can request a remote conversation. Select your county below to include it with your inquiry. An appropriately licensed agent must confirm product availability and policy options for your residence.
Can I discuss life insurance remotely from New York?
You can request a phone or text conversation with The Lifford Agency from New York. The responding agent must be licensed for your state and confirm the products they can offer. No office visit is required to start a conversation.
How can I check an agent’s license in New York?
Ask your responding agent for their full name and applicable state license details. You can independently check license status through your state’s insurance regulator. An NPN identifies a producer; it does not by itself establish an active license for every state.
Does this needs check approve me for coverage?
No. It records what you want to protect, existing coverage, your preferred amount and timing. An agent and the insurer must confirm product availability, underwriting and policy terms.
Can I call or text instead of completing the form?
Yes. Call or text Nicole at 423-251-4958 or Joshua at 616-330-7796. Keep medical details, Social Security numbers and payment information out of an introductory text.
