New York state’s insurance department is inching their way toward the 1980’s in their life insurance product availability. You would have to live there to appreciate (or not), just how antiquated the mortality assumption logic is. A good example, probably...

I had a discussion with my Farmer’s Insurance agent the other day. I have my auto, homeowners and office insurance through him. He has great products and offers very good service. He called to ask me about life insurance prices. You see, he is licensed to sell...

I know there is logic galore for putting off the purchase of life insurance until just the right time, or until you’re just the right weight, or until your cholesterol is just the right level…..and the logic fails completely when you drop dead before you...

For those of us who maintain that there is some value in keeping our life insurance licenses unscathed and not getting our pants sued off, the life settlement business has just been one of those things that just hangs out there. The life settlement business has...

For those that do read my blog, you might be thinking that I’ve made it my mission in life to point out everything wrong with obesity. And to some extent I have. But I hope the reason isn’t lost in all of the information I provide. I care deeply about...

A what you say? To put in more meaningful terms, if your employer died today, would the company continue to exist? Is there a plan in place to keep the business going? If not, is there a plan in place to soften the economic impact on employees, especially key...

I had an email from a potential client today that said “I am looking for reasonably priced life insurance where there are no health questions and/or physical exam. If your group can fullfill these requirements than you can contact me”. There are a lot of...
