We’ve all heard some version of the story. A widow that can’t collect on her late husband’s life insurance because of some clause or some rule or something that someone did wrong…. Exclusions are a common question and a very real concern. Some time...

Like cancer and car accidents, there are probably very few of us who haven’t been touched by the loss of a relative or someone we know by suicide. I try to address this sensitive issue a couple of times a year just because I believe a lot of life insurance...
