Can i ask my insurance agent to compile all the insurances i have with them in a document?

Hi all, my parents bought Great Eastern policies for the whole family via an agent ever since i was born. As i'm about to take over the insurance policies over from them, wanted to ask if it's reasonable and right of me to ask the agent to create a document with all the policies my family had with her? Thinking of asking the agent to include the sum assured, annual premium to be paid for each policy. Are there other things that i should ask her to include as well? Appreciate your advice.

I expect this much for myself, and I believe everyone should receive the same standard of service.

It is definitely within reason as a consumer to request for a detailed breakdown of your policies, as financial planning's primary focus is to manage your risk, and its important to know the related costs as well.
