For those paying child support or alimony, the court may have also ordered that you carry life insurance for a specified period of time to make sure the commitment is met even if you’re not around to meet it. Most of the calls I get concerning purchasing court...

I think it’s happened to all of us at one point or another. We go to a doctor or a counselor and they come up with a diagnosis that is so far out of context that you can’t understand how they got from point A to B. There is a very natural tendency,...

I would be the first to insinuate that the agent that sold that term policy to you has a better chance of being in another profession now than not. Good reality check. When was the last time they called you just to let you know they are there if you need them? Far too...

I remember a few years ago when my wife was running scared because her cholesterol on the results from our community health fair were over 200, just barely. Her HDL was 60. She might die from worrying, but her arteries weren’t plugging. Late last week I had a...

On the subject of fair life insurance underwriting I can certainly be found on both sides of he fence. Sometimes I think the underwriting consideration is completely fair, something that based on the information is something the client is just going to have to accept....

What a crazy year for underwriting life insurance. There have been shifts all over the map from type 1 diabetes to melanoma history, with some of the best news coming for private pilots. It’s been quite a while since we’ve had as many solid players in the...

I got an email from some clients a few days ago. In spite of their best efforts their small business had fallen off so badly a few years ago that the husband made the decision to let the life insurance they had in force lapse. I’ve been staying in touch waiting...

I know that when I am shopping for something, for instance a car, I am very straight forward, even blunt, about what I want and how much I am willing to spend. I let the sales person know that it’s OK if they can’t meet my needs, but that changing anything...

When I came up with a title for this post it made me chuckle. It seemed so familiar….but we’re not talking about my granddaughter. This is about life insurance and specifically the negative impact you can have on your application by not following through...

I’ve been writing long enough that I am bound to be a little redundiferous at times, but I don’t think it can be said too many times. If you use the wrong agent to buy life insurance, who picks the wrong company for your situation, you will not enjoy a...

Big giant disclaimer. We have found several highly rated US life insurance companies that will write foreign nationals living in the US and foreign nationals living outside the US. I have kept this fairly low key until I worked through a few cases, one in Jamaica, one...

Where has our American “get er done” philosophy gone? It seems like I run into cases everyday where a person’s life insurance agent gives up if they application is not approved at the rate they thought their customer would get, or even declined. I...

As West Coast Life dips slowly below the sunset, absorbed by their sister company Protective Life, I can only say, well, I actually can’t say it. Never has a company deserved to come to an end more than West Coast Life. Please don’t think these words have...

I know. It even showed up in my local paper. “Ed Hinerman Says Whole Life Insurance Without Gagging”! Well, the reflex is still there but I have been fighting it while I investigate whether there is a place in my universe for dividend paying whole life...

There is probably no one more prevalent issue that affects life insurance underwriting more than weight. With 30+% of our country meeting the criteria for being obese, face it, every application we get has a 1 in 3 chance of build and BMI being an underwriting issue....
