With seven companies under contract, I pick the one that fits your case best. No favorites, no hidden commissions.

Before you sign with anyone

A policy is a long-term promise

And a promise is worth whatever the one making it is worth. So before looking at coverage and premiums, it's worth looking at the company: whether it will still be there the day your family has to file a claim.

What an AM Best rating is

AM Best is the agency that rates insurance companies' financial strength: their ability to pay the claims they promise. The scale runs from A++ (Superior) down to D, through A, B++ and B. It doesn't rate the product or the service, only the company's strength.

How I handle it

Every company I hold a contract with is licensed by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Before recommending one to you, I check its current rating and tell you in the consultation, with the date. If a company's rating drops, you have that conversation with me — you don't find out on your own.

Check it yourself

You don't have to take my word for it. Any insurance company's rating can be looked up free at ratings.ambest.com, and any producer's or agency's license at sbs.naic.org. Look me up too: certification no. 3000225027.

Coverage available

Nine ways to protect your people, one representative you can trust

Every family is different. So I look at your case and pick the coverage that suits you best, comparing across several insurance companies.

Term Life

The most coverage for the least cost, over a set period of 10, 20 or 30 years.

Best for: young families protecting the years when they carry the most financial weight.

Subject to underwritingSee the detail on term life

Whole Life

Permanent protection that builds cash value. The coverage never expires as long as the premiums are paid.

Best for: people who want to leave their beneficiaries a legacy.

Subject to underwritingSee the detail on whole life

Universal Life

A flexible premium and a benefit you can adjust through your life.

Best for: professionals whose income varies over time.

Indexed Universal Life

Growth tied to stock market indexes with a protected floor. Values are not guaranteed.

Best for: anyone looking to combine protection with long-term growth potential.

Final Expense

Simple coverage, quick approval, usually with no medical exam.

Best for: people over 50 who want to take the funeral burden off their children.

Subject to underwritingSee the detail on final expense

Cancer Coverage

Cash on a confirmed cancer diagnosis, independent of your health insurance.

Best for: families with a history of cancer, or worried about catastrophic medical costs.

Subject to underwritingSee the detail on cancer coverage

Personal Accident

Cash for accidents causing disability, hospitalization or accidental death.

Disability

Replaces a percentage of your income if an injury or illness keeps you from working.

The method in a minute

Coverage need calculator

Find out how much insurance your family actually needs

Plenty of families in Puerto Rico are underinsured. Use the DIME method, the same standard the insurance companies use, to estimate your coverage need in 60 seconds.

What is the DIME method?

DIME is the standard way to work out how much protection is needed. It adds up four things, subtracts what you already have covered, and what's left is the amount that would let your family carry on with their lives if something happened to you tomorrow.

Debt: mortgage, credit cards, car and loans
Income: the years of earnings your family depends on
Education: an estimated $25,000 per child
Final expenses: the funeral and what goes with it

The name stands for Debt, Income, Mortgage, Education — but what matters is the arithmetic, not the acronym.

About Stephan

Someone close at hand, working entirely for the families of Puerto Rico

I'm Stephan Sekulits, an Insurance Representative licensed by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Since 2020 my work has been the same thing: helping Puerto Rican families understand their insurance options without pressure, without fine print, and without favoring any one company.

As an Authorized Representative I'm not tied to a single company. I hold active contracts with seven insurance companies, local and mainland, which lets me compare and choose the best option for each case. My job isn't to sell you a policy, it's to design protection that makes sense for the life you actually live.

I believe information about insurance should be clear. That's why I offer free 30-minute consultations where I show you openly what options exist for your case and what each one means. No obligation. The decision is always yours.

What I focus on

I don't do everything, and that's the point

What I work on every day
  • Life, disability and critical illness coverage for families and individuals in Puerto Rico.
  • Final expense for people 55 and over, including no-medical-exam issue.
  • Reviewing policies you already hold, even ones you didn't take out with me.
  • Life and disability structures for business owners and partners.
  • Standing with the family on the day of the claim, which is when the work really shows.
The mistake I see most

You sign the policy, but someone else collects on it. And that someone wasn't in the conversation. That's why the beneficiary line causes the most trouble and gets checked the least:

  • Old policies where the beneficiary is still an ex-spouse, because nobody updated the form after the divorce.
  • Minors named as beneficiaries with nobody appointed to manage the money until they come of age.
  • Policies where someone wrote "my estate" and the money ends up going through a legal process instead of straight to the family.
  • Beneficiaries who don't even know the policy exists, so nobody files a claim.

Checking this costs nothing and takes ten minutes. It's one of the first things I look at with you, even if you didn't take the policy out with me.

Have a policy and can't remember who you named as beneficiary?

Common situations

Situations I handle every week

Three profiles that keep coming up, and how each one gets solved.

A self-employed contractor working on a site Indexed universal life
Self-employed contractor, 40s
Situation

Self-employed, with no coverage at all. With two young children, he worried about what would become of them if something happened to him tomorrow.

Solution

We structured an indexed universal life policy: permanent coverage with potential to accumulate. The values are not guaranteed.

Outcome

Today he knows his family is protected whatever happens, and each year we check together that the policy still fits his life.

A woman in her fifties in her kitchen at home Final expense
Mother of a family, 50s
Situation

She lost a relative who had no coverage and watched the family go into debt for the funeral. She didn't want the same falling on her children.

Solution

A final expense policy, approved quickly and with no medical exam.

Outcome

Today she knows her children won't go through what she went through.

A young couple with their two small children on the sofa at home Term life
Professional with young children, 30s
Situation

He already had coverage in place, but nobody had explained what it covered or why.

Solution

We reorganized his portfolio: a 30-year term policy plus an IRA for retirement, structured around his goals.

Outcome

He increased his coverage and today he understands exactly what he has and what it's for.

Frequently asked questions

What families usually ask us

Straight answers to the most common questions before taking the first step.

The cost depends on several things: your age, the type of coverage, how much coverage you choose, your health history and the company. Every case is different, which is why we don't publish prices on the site: it would be a simplification that almost never matches anyone's actual situation. In your free 30-minute consultation I look at your specific circumstances, compare options across the licensed companies, and show you realistic numbers for your case. No obligation.

I hold active contracts with seven: Triple-S Vida, Lincoln Financial, American National, Universal Life, MassMutual, American Amicable and Pan-American Life. They don't all do the same thing: I use American National for annuities, and the others for life and health coverage. As an Authorized Representative I'm not tied to any of them, so I choose whichever suits your case, with no commercial bias.

It depends on the product and the amount of coverage. Plenty of coverage today is approved with no medical exam, on a health questionnaire alone. Final expense policies, for instance, are nearly all exam-free. For large amounts of universal life, some companies do ask for one. I'll make it clear for your specific case during the appointment.

Between 3 and 21 business days after the application is approved, depending on the company and the type of policy. Final expense products usually go into force within 48 to 72 hours. Universal life can take up to 3 weeks if there's a medical exam. I give you the exact timeline in the proposal.

Yes. In Puerto Rico the law gives you a grace period called a 'free look', 10 to 20 days from when you receive the policy, during which you can cancel for a full refund without explaining yourself. After that period you can still cancel whenever you want, though the refund depends on the type of policy.

Completely. I advise you at no cost and with no obligation to buy. I only earn a commission when you decide to put coverage in place, and that commission is paid by the insurance company, not by you. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe me nothing at all.

Someone tied to one company can only offer you that company's products. I hold contracts with seven, so I compare across them and choose whichever suits your case. It's the difference between walking into a single-brand dealership and being able to compare several before you decide.

Yes. The office is in Hato Rey, San Juan (140 Marginal Ave. F. D. Roosevelt, Suite 203), but I serve clients across the whole island by phone, WhatsApp and video call. I also visit in person when the case calls for it: today I work with families in San Juan, Caguas, Carolina, Arecibo, Humacao, Ponce, Bayamón, Mayagüez, Cayey, Cidra and Aguada, among other towns. The first appointment can be entirely remote.

Areas I serve

The whole island, with an office in Hato Rey

The first appointment can be entirely remote, wherever you live. These are the eleven towns most people write to me from, each with its own page and its own numbers. Those pages are in Spanish.

These eleven are where most of my clients are, but I serve the whole island. If your town isn't on the list, write to me anyway.
