Using the tax free death benefit of life insurance for estate protection sure isn’t a new idea, but consider the challenge of a widow that has too much income, not as rare as I thought. I am working with a woman in her early 70’s, a retired company CEO,...

One of those set in stone rules that we have lived with for years in life insurance underwriting just got a new look and possibly a question that may not make the answer as black and white as most underwriters would like it to be. I am currently shopping a case where...

If life and life insurance was all simple there wouldn’t be any bumps in the road. We would all have the coverage we need when we need it and Dorothy would be singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow in the background. Truth is that most of the time with life...

While hardly a problem that is restricted to people in the medical fields, simply based on the number of physicians and dentists I have worked with over the past few years, it seems their easy access to the drugs and or ability to write prescriptions is a growing...

If it isn’t crystal clear by now, it should be. People applying for life insurance with a current or past history of well controlled depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders are being abusively rated or declined by most life...

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...

I suspect that two things will stay very much the same in 2012. Politics will attempt to suffocate us all and I will be able to reach growing numbers of those with bipolar disorder in the their quest to be treated fairly in acquiring life insurance. Since starting my...

Ok, so occasionally I’m like a broken record (dated myself on that one) and can’t quite let go of an injustice. My Mom thinks that’s a good thing and my wife says as long as it doesn’t affect my blood pressure she’s good with it…so...

Probably very close to 100% of the time a person can go about obtaining life insurance with the traditional application, exam and underwriting period. But there are exceptions. The truth is I don’t recommend that anyone that needs life insurance and...

When i see how some life insurance underwriters treat clients with generalized anxiety, often offering standard rate or worse approvals, I wonder if they’re living in the same country as the rest of us. USA could easily stand for the United States of Anxiety...

All the way from small partnerships to large corporations there is almost always one or two people that really drive the success of the company. Whether it is the CEO and the way they run the company, the head of sales without whom success as measured by sales...

In a post some years ago I was talking about underwriting of mild mood disorders and made a flip comment that it seemed about time that underwriters take another look since most of America and likely most of them were on Prozac or Zoloft or Wellbutrin. Well, I’m...

Most people that read my blog and call or email about life insurance for people with bipolar disorder or other serious mood disorders seem to be in their mid forties and below. Most but not all. We have had a fair number of successful professionals my age (55+),...

It’s December and it’s been an outstanding year in helping those with bipolar disorder find the life insurance they need at affordable prices. Most of our successes have been snatched from the jaws of defeat that other companies have held our clients in....
