Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to apply?
Most life insurance companies have a short list of health questions to answer. Depending on your answers, the life insurance company may require additional blood work. This can be scheduled at your convenience. If you do not want to complete any blood work, ask your local agent about simplified issue policies. Simplified issue policies only have a few short health questions to qualify. These policies may cost a little more, but are much faster to apply and get approved for.
How much of a death benefit do I need?
This depends on why you are buying life insurance. Are you wanting to pay off a certain debt, like a mortgage or care loan?
