I’d like to know if there’s a law or rule (especially in California) regarding the time between the death and the life insurance payout.

I have a few questions here and thanks in advance.

Can anyone please explain how do life insurance agencies (or financial advisory agencies) make their profit?

Is that true that the life insurance companies are paying around 100% of total first year premium to the agents? How do the agencies split that with the agents?

I would appreciate if you can throw in some numbers, since i am looking to invest some angel capital into an agency, so you would help if you give numbers.

My husband commited a felony nine years ago when he was nineteen years old and has not been in trouble since. He is now a foreman, owns his own home and is just a regualr citizen, but he has been denied life insurance through 3 companies. Any suggestions?
His medical exam and history is perfect, he even qualified for prefered rates, but it all comes down to the background check.
