It’s what we’re all looking for when we finally get around to the task of acquiring life insurance, a great deal. For each of us that can be defined differently. For many of my clients just finding a company that will approve a life insurance policy is a...

With personal life insurance there is very seldom a reason to panic if there is a delay or an unexpected decline that needs to be worked on to overcome. I know it happens anyway (the panic), especially when there has been a decline, but given a little time and the...

Ah, the sting of being declined or being rated practically to death when you apply for life insurance. Do they really think you are on death’s door or do they just dislike you personally? Perhaps that life insurance company has a quota that limits the amount of...

There is this perverse notion, an urban legend if you will, that if you get declined for life insurance you become life insurance toast from then on. You might as well buy accidental death insurance and just hope that space junk and not cancer is the cause of your...

Declined life insurance applications leave most clients befuddled and the average agent not knowing what to do next. Was your life insurance declined for a reason that doesn’t make much sense to you? I’ve studied this end of the business pretty...

I Googled bipolar life insurance today and was struck by the lack of information on how to get approved for life insurance with bipolar disorder or any of the other mood disorders. Don’t get me wrong. There was plenty of information about bipolar disorder,...

If you have ever had life insurance declined there is no doubt in my mind that you have an opinion as to whether that was a fair decision or not. If you were declined life insurance there is a very good chance that the decision is not one that is shared by all...

I’ve always said that a life insurance decline is really not a bad place to start. Obviously it’s more fun to get approved at the best rate the first time around, but most of my clients come to me because they have health issues. They call or email because...

If you have bipolar disorder and have applied for life insurance then you might assume that life insurance underwriting of bipolar disorder is very straightforward. You apply. You tell them you have bipolar disorder. You get declined. With most companies it really is...

The term high risk gets thrown around in the life insurance world probably way more than it should. The truth is that with the exception of truly high risk companies like Lloyds of London, life insurance companies would “prefer not to participate” in a...

I have to admit that if it wasn’t for life insurance applications being declined, we wouldn’t do a lot of business. I’ve shared before that most of our clients come to us because they had life insurance declined elsewhere, or they are afraid that if...

I suppose there are a few people who apply and know for a fact that they will be declined life insurance coverage. I’ve actually had calls from people who were in the hospital having just undergone heart bypass surgery. They asked about getting life insurance,...
