I have clients all over the Middle East doing everything from engineering to Afghan translation to security services. I have been working with a company out of Argentina that has oil field crews working revolving shifts in Iraq and it looks like we will have the...

One of the brightest gems in the new cancer life insurance underwriting that was unveiled this week is the possibility to get all the way back to preferred rates with the right cancer, the right outcome and, of course, the right agent and the right company. For as...

I’m on about my 15th drum now. I’ve beat so many of them to death about life insurance guarantees that I have a restraining order keeping me away from the local drum shop. Life insurance companies have been selling assumptions on whole life and universal...

When I was young growing up in Wyoming I remember being talked into a cow tipping trip one evening. I don’t know if this goes on everywhere, but in Wyoming adults really like to jack with kids by having them attempt urban, or in our case, country legends....

I recklessly went out on a limb yesterday spreading a rumor that a major, well know A+ rated life insurance company was jumping on all of the cancer detection and treatment victories of the last several years and have changed their underwriting guidelines and...

I hate jumping into a life insurance topic like this without all the facts but, heck, that’s why they call them rumors. Historically one of the toughest parts of underwriting has been, especially for cancer, the insistence of a one year waiting period post...

I got a call yesterday from a woman who had just been declined for a new life insurance because she had two melanomas in the last 11 years. After the second melanoma she decided she was a little more mortal than she had originally figured and wanted to increase her...

What a cold, cruel world we live in. Most of the time I am not surprised when someone calls because they they have been approved at a standard rate, sometimes a little worse for things like ADD, ADHD, mild anxiety or depression. A few days ago I got a call from...

While my primary focus remains impaired risk life insurance and over 50 life insurance, I’ve left no lack of evidence in this past year’s blog posts that there is so much more available. There is still nothing quite like getting an approval on life...

I had emailed some quotes off to a client this week with Genworth Life and Annuity, a major player in no lapse guarantee UL’s and in this case the best rate class offer I had received when shopping the case. She went on line and found out that Genworth has been...

Where do I want the life insurance death benefit to go if I die prematurely? That’s an easy answer for most of us. We want it to go to our spouse. We want him or her to have the money to carry on in the event we are no longer around to provide income and, of...

As a business person I have become accustomed to wanting to deduct everything I can. If there was a way to deduct the air that is used in my office every day I would be installing an air gauge. Business life insurance benefits are income tax free which is like the 8th...

As I come to grips with the fact that I am going to have to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 and from Outlook Express to Outlook, I am a bit stressed. To bring you up to speed on the kind of stress I am going through, I wrote this post this morning. Because I am...

For a lot of years the state of New York was almost anti social about life insurance. Difficult to the point where a large number of very good life insurance companies that do business in every other state wouldn’t jump through the hoops required in New York....

Because of the limits put on the benefit available under traditional disability income insurance, there are a lot of people who would fall well short of being able to maintain their lifestyle if disabled. The standard of the industry is 60% of your salary, usually...
