Companies understand the variabilities. They have done lots of research on life expectancy which means they are able to offer some type of life insurance to just about everyone.
Exams and underwriting
It depends on how much insurance you are planning to purchase and your age as to whether you will need a health exam. For clients primarily interested in covering burial costs or estate administrative costs; a $25,000 graded policy can be purchased with minimal underwriting, even if you are terminally ill.
Term Insurance or Whole Life
Depending on your age, number of dependents, and your finances there are many different life insurance options. Term insurance lasts a set number of years but can often be renewed or converted, depending on the product.
Whole life is more expensive, but is permanent insurance. Your agent can help you decide what makes more sense for your situation.
Business Life Insurance
Many small business owners purchase life insurance to help pay the bills for their family, when they are no longer around to run their business. But a business life insurance policy can be used in a different way. It can be purchased to be the cornerstone of a business’s succession plan. The death benefits from a life insurance policy can be the funding vehicle for a buy-sell agreement and used to purchase a deceased partner’s share of the business from their estate.
