If you’re over age 50 you get mail from AARP at least twice a month, if not more, inviting you to become a member and/or just partake of all the great deals they offer even if you’re not a member. If you, your parents, family or friends have fallen for the...

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...

How many blog posts and articles have I written about the catastrophic meltdown of traditional universal life insurance policies? I have sought industry assistance in nailing down approximately what percentage of the total number of UL’s are in danger of...

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...

I won’t go so far as to say that you have to have a life insurance agent with a mood disorder, but when it comes to successful underwriting of anxiety or depression life insurance applications need to be handled correctly. An agent’s understanding of the...

You have to understand that life insurance agents don’t get paid unless they deliver an approved policy and the policy is paid and put into force. So the lies (incorrect answers) that clients in answer to life insurance application questions generally impact us...

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...

So, just what company offers the best rates if you need private pilot life insurance? How about student pilot life insurance? Or flight instructor life insurance? Airline pilots? Those answers depend on certain criteria which I’ll cover in a minute, but keep in...
