New York, NY - What the Heck Is Insurance? A Brief Look at Our Business
[embed]https://vimeo.com/852117867[/embed] What the heck is insurance? And would you believe the concept dates all the way back to Roman times? It began with burial societies for people like soldiers to relieve their family of the expense of providing an appropriate burial when the time came.

The Unger Company are experts at using life insurance to protect the assets and wealth transfer plans of high-net-worth clients.
