Guardian Whole Life Agent Issue

I’ve been tearing my hair out over this problem since March and hoping someone here can offer some advice. For reference, this policy was sold in California, but I now live in NY.

When getting his insurance business off the ground, my father had me buy a Whole Life policy from Guardian through him around 2012-3. I didn’t really want to buy, but… family pressure. It is what it is.

In 2023, he stopped speaking with me due to political differences.

In February 2024, II received a notice from Guardian that I had a “rare window” to expand my coverage. I tried to work with my mother to get him to handle this and expand my coverage, but he is currently pretending I’m dead, so… he refused. I reached out to Guardian to get another agent, which took weeks, then another few weeks and, apparently, no one at the agency Guardian directed me to was interested in taking on my policy. The window expired.

I tried my mother again, that was another no-go. I emailed Guardian to complain about the situation and ask for a possible window extension, they wrote back giving me a link to look up other agents in my area, addressed nothing else. I emailed one last week, no response.

What can I do here?

I’m assuming the window is closed for good, since it’s now August and I’m still without an agent that will serve my policy. Is this assumption accurate?

How/where can I get someone who will actually take on my policy? Why would taking it on be so… undesirable and can I do anything about that?

How/where can I complain about my father’s lack of professionalism/business ethic? He still is in insurance in California, he has his own agency now.

Thank you all so much for whatever advice and insight you can offer. This whole thing has been pretty godawful and I want to get it behind me. It’s been dragging on for too long.
