Now we’re rolling. Just because I’ve used two posts getting to the actual life insurance application and life insurance exam is not indicative of how long the process takes. Again, as promised, at the end of this series I will give a breakdown of the...

I’m going to make this life insurance application process seem a bit lengthy and cumbersome in explaining it, but be assured right up front that the process is neither of those if you just take some of these suggestions to heart and work right through it. In...

Applying for life insurance is one of those things in life where you really have some control over what it feels like, how long it takes and how it ends. It is, in that respect, somewhat the polar opposite of applying for a passport. My memory of that was that once...

With the majority of skin cancer being basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, both almost underwriting non issues unless there have been multiple instances, the challenge lies mostly under the melanoma heading. As I’ve stated with so many other types...
