Our office has always been about getting the job done for our life insurance clients and getting a policy in force as soon as possible. I could probably be labeled a little obsessive compulsive about the application process, but I believe my logic is sound. Beneficiaries dont get anything from applied for life insurance. They are protected when life insurance goes in force.
A little disclaimer here. There is a way to be covered during the application process through whats called a temporary insurance agreement. I do occasionally use this tool, but I use it sparingly. Most of the big on line agencies wont take an application without the agreement and a payment to bind it.

Life insurance is a financial product that pays a monetary benefit to a named beneficiary upon the death of the policy holder. It is typically used a means of covering final expenses and providing financial security to loved ones.
There are many different types of life insurance policies, with the two most common being whole and term life insurance. In most whole and variable insurance policies, a portion of the policy holder’s premiums are applied towards investment products, which generally makes them more expensive to carry.

SAVE 70% ON LIFE INSURANCE. How often have we seen that little advertising flower bloom on our computer screens. Ive explained in the past that there really isnt any magic to that. The spread between the best priced life insurance companies and the worst is all of that if not more.
So there are thousands of life insurance quote engines on line where you can go and figure out who has the best prices. Oh, FYI, the companies with the best prices arent lower rated companies. They are thriving highly rated companies. Kind of raises the question that if the best rates are plastered all over cyberspace how can a person actually end up spending way more than they need to.

I had emailed some quotes off to a client this week with Genworth Life and Annuity, a major player in no lapse guarantee ULs and in this case the best rate class offer I had received when shopping the case. She went on line and found out that Genworth has been downgraded recently to A by AM Best from A+, Superior to Excellent, and from AA to A with Standard and Poors, from Very strong to Strong.
I personally put most of my faith in AM Best as a rating agency for life insurance companies and wont quote companies without an A or better rating. Having said that I will never push my opinion of ratings on anyone.

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.
Ive been staying in touch waiting for things to turn around but as the wife said in her email, I have a hard time not giving up on things getting better any time soon for us in the income department. But I find myself holding my breath until John wakes up some mornings. We know that we are playing Russian roulette without life insurance. As weve discussed before, I would be up that proverbial creek without a paddle if he passed before we get some insurance in place.
