Q&A with Alyson Collins
How long does it take to get approved for life insurance?
Answer: Life insurance approval times can vary depending on the insurance company and your health history. In many cases, approval can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks while the carrier reviews medical records, prescription history, driving records, and other underwriting requirements before making a final decision.
What questions should a first-time life insurance buyer ask their agent?
Answer: First-time life insurance buyers should ask how much coverage they need to protect their family, which type of policy best fits their goals, and what the monthly premium will be. It's also important to understand the underwriting process, whether the policy includes living benefits, and if the coverage and premiums are guaranteed for the life of the policy.
How do I evaluate a life insurance company's long-term financial stability?
Answer: One of the best ways to evaluate a life insurance company's long-term financial stability is to review its ratings from agencies such as AM Best, Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch. These ratings provide insight into the company's financial strength and ability to pay claims over time.
What is the difference between joint life and survivorship life insurance?
Answer: Joint Life (First-to-Die): Covers two people and pays the death benefit when the first insured dies, then the policy ends.
Survivorship Life (Second-to-Die): Covers two people but pays the death benefit only after both insureds have passed away, making it ideal for estate planning and leaving a legacy.
Can I get life insurance if I'm overweight or obese?
Answer: Yes! Being overweight or obese doesn't automatically prevent you from qualifying for life insurance. Rates are based on your overall health, medical history, and height/weight, and many carriers offer coverage for individuals of all body types. A licensed agent can help you find the best option for your situation.
How does life insurance work for a family with a special needs child?
Answer: Life insurance can help provide long-term financial security for a child with special needs. The death benefit can be used to help cover future care, housing, medical expenses, and other ongoing needs. In many cases, families work with an attorney to have the proceeds paid into a Special Needs Trust to help protect the child's eligibility for certain government benefits.
Can I get life insurance if I have had cancer?
Answer: Yes. Having a history of cancer does not automatically disqualify you from getting life insurance.
Approval and pricing typically depend on factors such as the type of cancer, stage/grade, treatment received, date treatment ended, whether you're currently cancer-free, any recurrence, and your overall health.
How much does a $1 million life insurance policy cost?
Answer: Hi! The cost of a $1 million life insurance policy can vary quite a bit depending on your age, health, tobacco use, and how long you'd like the coverage to last. I work with multiple life insurance carriers and would be happy to compare options for you. If you can provide your age and a little information about your health, I can give you a more accurate estimate.
