Recently, Benepath sent out a social networking blurb. I am a “fan” of social networking, but sometimes I fall short since the task of managing several forms of social media can be time consuming. This is true especially when the number one thing on any given day is the all important transaction that occurs when we sell something. In fact, a perfect day can be described as one where I receive 1) a good lead, 2) a completed application that was previously sent out, 3) notice of a pending case just approved, and 4) notice that an issued case just “went paid.” That would mean that all of my efforts are paying off.

So, how does social media or networking figure into all of that? One way that it works for me is that I post articles and other items that appear online, such as at MoneyTips.com. This is a portal where consumers ask questions and I answer them. A couple of my articles appear there, too. But more to the point of getting sales moved forward, I use those articles and Q & A sessions as online items of credibility. I also use them as my in-house email auto-responder messages when I receive a lead and the prospect does not pick up the phone. They are used in follow up messages later, as well, to keep the dialogue open or to compel an action.   

We all want to encourage those to whom we’ve sent an application to return it. Rather than simply say “Hey, send that app back already!”, I send them a link to my article on “Simplifying life insurance products”, or the one on “How to get meaningful and accurate life insurance quotes.” Will she read it? She may, or she may not. But, having sent it, I’ve pointed to a well written topical item that this expert has posted on an objective web portal. I’ve kept my proposition from dying a quiet death by staying in front of her, and I did so without actually saying to her that it has been 5 weeks and it is time to get off the dime and send that application back.

The point is this: social networking supported by fresh content that sits on the web will give those who see my name something more to connect to. My approach to insurance, my picture, my intelligence, and my willingness to share useful tips and advice are all right there – in my own voice. The definition of a personal network is “a set of human contacts known to an individual, with whom that individual would expect to interact at intervals to support a given set of activities.” That interaction at intervals will require content that you wish to share across the network so that you don’t just say “Hello, it’s me”, but rather “Hello, it’s me. This is what I do when I am helping others. It may be the case that I can help you, or someone that you know. In the meantime, here is something that I’d like to share.” Next month, something new is there to share. Think of it as a message arc that spans weeks and months, and it is your job is to supply interesting stuff for those who are interested.

Am I a social networking expert? No. Am I a person who understands the power of effective marketing? Yes. Right message, right medium, right audience = marketing. Combining social networking with business objectives amounts to just that; marketing – but with a self propelling element that makes it so that you show up in places you never thought you would. Previous to now, your business card got stuck in a wallet and that was the end of the trail. Now, your message goes out and has the potential to keep on going. One day, I know that I will get a new prospect and when I ask “how did you hear about us?” I will likely hear an answer that I could not have guessed, since I have no idea how far (or where) the message went. My first thought will be “Perfect!”

Recently, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the stability rating of the U.S. life insurance industry. Only time will determine if its upward trend can stay steady.

Moody’s evaluated a number of changes before granting the improved rating. The nationwide shift towards overall economic stability has encouraged U.S, citizens to buy more insurance in recent months.

Households are regaining discretionary funds, which are frequently used to contribute to long-neglected-but-long intended investments like life insurance. Now that the economy has started to show signs of revival, higher life and annuity premiums, along with increased deposits into pension plans, are again possible. In turn, these contributions ease pressure on insurance company revenues and earnings. Rising interest rates are also alleviating pressure on life insurers’ profit margins. With higher rates, fixed annuities and universal life insurance face less compression. Long-term investments inch closer to reserve.

Equity markets also appear to be following an upward trend, which improves the performance of variable annuities and other assets under management-fee-driven businesses. These improvements spread to improve the chances that variable annuity portfolios are likely to increase in profitability. As pension plan fees rise in response to the stimulated market, mutual funds should also increase. However, some volatility should still be expected, as those insured will always cease payment of premiums and take advantage of any guaranteed benefits.

Moody’s forecasts that the U.S. economy will continue to improve in 2014 and 2015; in current figures, the company expects an uptick of 2 to 3 percent in 2014 and of 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2015. These increases are the result of a perceived improvement in the unemployment rate and the housing markets. In partnership with the comebacks in these two sectors, Moody’s foresees an increased demand for annuity and life insurance products. Fixed annuity rates are already slowly beginning to improve their poor performance of the past few years.

While the promise of a brighter market is cheering, approach this (and any) good news with due caution. Not all insurance products will improve. For example, sales of health-related products are predicted to remain depressed, as they are also tied to the volatile recent developments in healthcare reform. Similarly, some types of coverage, including disability, are likely to take a longer time to show any improvement.

So many people think they need a doctor’s examination to get an insurance quote. That is not true.

If you happen to be a senior in America, the topic of insurance is not so popular, ranking right up there with taxes. There seem to be so many hoops and hurdles to tackle, that many older Americans just decide to not bother. But what if you told your older clients that they do not need to get a medical exam to get life insurance quotes, or even get some kinds of insurance policies?

Yes, it is true. There are some forms of life insurance policies where they do not need to show medical exam results — for instance, whole-life insurance. Anyone may buy that type of policy, regardless of health, age or gender. The difficulty is that so many people have the idea that every insurance policy means going for a medical, which is not the case.

There are other forms of insurance anyone may purchase, including graded-benefit insurance, simplified-issue life insurance and guaranteed-issue insurance. As with anything pertaining to insurance, it is always best to deal directly with an experienced agent, and that would be you as you make contact with them. You can outline each policy in simplified terms, less the industry jargon. Your potential clients will know soon enough if a policy is for them or not, just based on the explanation.

Guaranteed issue insurance does not require that anyone answer health related questions or get a medical exam. No one is even asked any medical questions. It is extremely rare that anyone applying is turned away.

Simplified issue life insurance does not mean a doctor’s office visit either. However, your clients need to be aware that insurers do ask them to provide some medical information when filling out an application form.

If they are applying for graded-benefit insurance, there are also no medical questions asked and no physical exam required. This particular type of policy is popular with middle-aged Americans and seniors. Some find the complex policy payments a bit confusing — you can explain, in detail, how it works. Good customer service will garner you a loyal client.

One other thing to take into consideration is that policies that do not require going to a doctor for a medical are more expensive. This is because the insurance company is taking a risk insuring a person when they do not know their medical history. While age is often a way to determine what health issues someone faces, it is not always an accurate assessment and not all older individuals may have the same health issues.

If you just want a quote on life insurance, you do not need a medical exam.

It’s pretty easy to get life insurance quotes online these days. A few clicks or roller ball moves and you’re done. There are so many insurance websites that offer free quotes, that you can have a good financial guesstimate of what a policy would cost you within about 24 hours or less —- usually less.

You must remember to submit the same details to all companies you want to provide you with a quote. If you don’t do that, your quotes are going to be all over the place and not make comparable. This is one good way to totally get confused. The same information means you get stable quotes on similar policies, so that also means that you need to provide accurate details on everything. No holding back on pre-existing conditions to get a better price. That kind of subterfuge catches up to you later.

What information is an insurance company looking for? Mostly the usual things: how tall are you? Are you male or female? How much do you weigh? When were you born? Once the basics are out of the way, you need to decide how much coverage you want. You need to get down with your budget and figure that out, so have some numbers ready before you go online. You could get anywhere from $100,000 to $10 million. Choose according to what works for your unique circumstances.

Just a word about the amount of coverage: One factor that dictates how much you can get is your medical history, status or condition. If you are in good health, you can get more life insurance. If not, that is an issue you will need to discuss with your agent. However, since you are only asking for an online quote, most of the questions you are answering only need yes or no answers, such as do you smoke or do you have a life-threatening condition.

If you wish to proceed beyond getting a quote, at that time, you would need to have a medical examination. At that time, you would then need to provide full details of your medical condition, which would then provide you with a fixed quote, based on your answers. At that time you would know precisely what amount you would pay for your monthly premium. This isn’t to say that you wouldn’t have a fair idea of what you’d likely pay from asking for online quotes, because you would.

Get as much information ready before you ask for quotes and things will be clear sailing for you.

Online term life insurance quotes are less expensive than buying in person, thanks to lower overhead for the company.

Not many people think too much about buying term life insurance online versus in person. In fact, when they get online to ask for quotes, they are looking for a deal, not considering how an insurance company sets its policy prices. Here is a bit of information that might come in handy for you and make your life a little be less expensive when it comes to term life insurance.

Most of us use the Internet to pay our bills online, check car insurance rates, trade stocks or whatever other financial transaction that they need to do. And we all know you can certainly track down term life insurance quotes online. However, did you know that when term life quotes were first uploaded to the Internet that term life insurance rates dropped by almost 50 percent? They dropped because the big boys on the block now had to compete with one another because everyone now had their rates out in the open where all and sundry could see them.

It used to be that if someone wanted this type of insurance, they only saw the price listed on a proposal brought to them by an agent. It was not easy to compare rates unless you had more agents come to your home, write offers and provide a quote. In short, price transparency —- thanks to instant quoting/comparing —- has changed the pricing of term life insurance.

By the way, this drop in pricing is also applicable to health insurance quotes online. The prices have dropped for the same reason, competition. Look for a reputable insurance company, one that deals with a reputable network. Compare pricing online by asking at least three providers for quotes, whether you are searching for health insurance or term life insurance.

Price comparisons are the gold in your online shopping journey for insurance. Take the time to cross check and compare and you will find a deal. It just takes a bit of patience, and by all means, if you do not understand what a quote includes or why it seems to be different that other companies, pick up the phone and ask. It’s your money, your health/term life insurance policy and you want to know as much as you can before you buy.

What do you get when you ask for quotes for term life insurance? You are asking for a price on temporary life insurance. You get various options to pay, varying length of coverage, various methods for paying premiums, names of companies quoting and their financial strength rating. Financial strength ratings tell you how solid the insurance company is financially and whether they will pay on a claim or not and be there when you need them.
Term coverage is, once again, temporary life insurance for a designated number of years, which usually ranges anywhere from one year up to 30 years. However, it may also last until you reach 65 or 70. If you outlive your policy, coverage ends. If you pass on while your policy is still in force, your beneficiary gets the death benefit.
Not familiar with instant quoting insurance websites? Call a local, licensed agent or if you’re a bit more technologically adept, call the companies listed online directly. Or, surf a website that offers multiple quotes. This gives you access to an enormous network of insurance carriers and there is something for everyone.

Term life insurance quotes may be a bit complex to understand, simply because all insurance does have some jargon that goes with it. That’s just the way it is. However, it does not have to be complex. And here is a good tip: If you are searching for term life insurance quotes, stay local. This is ideal for you, as you can call, drop by and ask as many questions as you like about life insurance. Many people don’t understand what term life insurance does, and if you write down your questions before talking to a local agent, you can get answers to those baffling questions like how long a term should you buy, how much will you be paying, what happens if you outlive your policy and what happens if you pass on before your policy expires.

Term life insurance serves a valuable purpose in everyone’s life. It is there to cover off those “what happens if” moments we all face when we contemplate our mortality. Stick local and you also get better personal service, something we badly need in this isolating world of technology.

Know some of the terms before you go shopping online for life insurance quotes.

There are thousands of websites online that can provide you with life insurance quotes. Chances are you won’t want to visit them all, but looking at least four of them is a good way to start, and a way to find the information you need to make an informed buying decision. Many people are confused when they get on the Internet to begin looking for term life insurance quotes. Why? Because they do not understand some of the terms.

First of all, what do you get when you ask for quotes for term life insurance? What you are asking for is pricing for temporary life insurance. It will provide you with various options to pay, varying length of coverage, options for premium payment, names of companies quoting and their financial strength rating. Financial strength ratings are good to know, as it tells you how solid the insurance company is financially —- meaning whether they will pay on a claim or not and be there when you need them.

Do you know what term coverage is or means? Term coverage is, once again, temporary life insurance for a designated number of years, which usually ranges anywhere from one year up to 30 years. However, it may also last until you reach 65 or 70. If you outlive your policy, coverage ends. If you pass on while your policy is still in force, your beneficiary gets the death benefit.

If you are not familiar with instant quoting insurance websites, you might wonder how to get your free quotes. For those who don’t like computers, you can call a local, licensed agent or if you’re a bit more technologically adept, call the companies directly that are listed online. You may also surf a website that offers multiple quotes. This gives you access to an enormous network of insurance carriers and there is always something for everyone’s needs.

Now that you have the quotes, just what to do you do with them? You compare them and to do that you need to consider several things, such as: How much coverage do you need? How many years do you want the coverage? What can you comfortably afford to pay? Most people want to save money. So, to do that, get multiple quotes before selecting a plan. Check out the carrier’s financial strength rating. Stick with your budget, no matter what and buy your policy as soon as possible, before the rates go up.

You might think that anything to do with insurance is complicated, and really, it can be, but it does not need to be. For instance, say you are wise enough to invest in a term life insurance policy, because you know it is the smart thing to do to protect your family financially, in case something happens to you. Before you pull any cash out of your wallet, find out if your term life insurance has a conversion rate. All this means is whether or not the policy may is convertible to a whole life policy, if that is what you want.

Even if you don’t really think you would convert your policy, it only makes sense to have that option available to you, in case something in your life changes and you need to convert it. And we all know how unpredictable life can be on occasion. So just be prepared by having various options at the ready for the future.

Is converting a rigmarole? No, actually it isn’t. You need to find out if you can convert, because it lets you do that without having to offer proof that you’re in good health. So should you develop a serious illness in the months just prior to the end of your insurance terms, you may be able to convert to a whole life policy and not get stung too badly on premium payments. If you don’t have the ability to convert, that is a whole other can of worms and it could well be expensive too.

Be aware that there are some insurance companies that offer low premiums, but do not offer the option to convert. While that might be a nice touch up front, and get you interested in their policies, it won’t do you much good it you want to have the option to convert. Never buy an insurance policy without knowing what it does cover and what it does not, or what it offers and what it does not. Also, don’t compare a policy with the conversion option to a policy without the conversion option. That is apples and oranges, and does not work.

The long and short of it is that you want what is best for your family, and if that involves term life insurance that may be converted to whole life later, then you may wish to go that route. Always do your homework. Ask questions. Then, ask more questions. You have choices and it’s best to make decisions based on solid information, not just pricing.

Before you buy anything, compare rates and policies. Knowledge is power.

This can never be said enough: “Always read your insurance policy.” While that statement typically tends to elicit loud groans, it is vitally important you know what is within the four corners of any insurance policy you buy. This is why you need to read the policies and compare rates before you buy something. You also need to have a general idea of what you want in terms of an amount for your policy. Don’t get too uptight about choosing a number, because there really isn’t a magic number.

Generally speaking you need somewhere between ten and twenty times your income when choosing term life insurance. That is not a hard and fast rule. It is just a suggestion, as everyone’s situation is different. Some people will add up everything they make, no matter from what source. Others will just figure out a number based on their monthly paychecks. In short, you need to decide for yourself how much coverage you want. Or, if you wish, discuss that with an insurance agent and get some other suggestions. It’s pretty much up to you as to how much you want and need.

How long do you need your insurance? Again, that choice is up to you. Having said that you may choose anywhere from 10 to 30 years. Usually, younger people choose the 30 year policies, largely because they get a low rate for a longer period, but again, every situation is different. Some like 20 or 25 year plans if they have young kids. The point is you have choices and quite a lot of them, to make anything possible. In other words, you have flexibility and that is important.

Be aware that term life insurance rates are different for every company, and that is not unusual. Just do your homework, shop around, see what fits and go from there.

Many companies offer a wide variety of incentives to their customers as well, such as return of premium or a yearly renewable policy if that is more suitable than a long-term policy. If you want something, chances are it is out there for you to find with a bit of online searching.

Buying term life insurance is a big decision and one that you need to take time deciding on what you want. The last thing you need is to end up with a policy that ultimately costs you more than it should. Yes, it happens if you don’t watch what you are doing, ask questions and stay informed. Truly, it is your life —- insurance policy.

People tend to think that term life insurance is too expensive for their needs.
The real question when it comes to having term life insurance is whether or not you cannot afford to have it. It’s a bit like the question about having health insurance. Have it and you’re covered and your bills won’t necessarily break the bank. Don’t have it and you may face medical bankruptcy. Admittedly, term life insurance is not about your health in the same way as health insurance is, but it is about your life and providing for others in the event of your death. In short, ensuring financial security for those left behind.

What many American do not realize is that term life insurance quotes are actually some of the most cost-effective around. Check it out online and see what we mean. There are a plethora of different policies to choose from, so you are not tied to just one or two and therefore stuck with what the company is selling. And, one thing to understand before you start looking for term life insurance is that the way they are structured guarantees lower premiums that can fit just about anyone’s budget. You also get to choose your term, so if you don’t feel comfortable being tied to a long policy, this may be just what you need.

Remember, before you buy anything, understand what you are buying. Sure, you don’t like reading policies and the legalese, but it is vital that you understand what your policy will and will not cover. So, know your lifestyle and what kind of coverage you are looking for before you fork over cash.

Term life insurance is considered to be the original life insurance, and it is, when it comes down to brass tacks, really fairly straightforward. You have the option to make payments at a fixed rate over the period of time you choose to be covered. When that period is completed, the coverage ends. The reason the premiums are so low is because the risk to the insurance company of paying out is lower than with a universal life policy.

Term life insurance may be chosen for a period of a year and on up to 30 years if they wish. Should the insured pass away within the term period, the beneficiaries receive a payout. If the insured is alive at the end of their term, they may extend their coverage. So actually, you have the control over what works the best for you.
Don’t let uncertainty stop you from finding out about the direct benefits to you of buying term life insurance. You will be amazed at what is possible these days when it comes to keeping costs lower.

For financial coverage when you die, choose term life insurance. Or choose what you want coverage for when you buy term life insurance.

When people are looking to buy term life insurance, most often they are buying it for financial coverage. Well, coverage for what, you ask? The answer to that question is you may choose what you want to cover. That might just be credit card debts, the kid’s college education fund, your mortgage, or yes, funeral expenses. Many opt to cover funeral expenses simply because, when it comes to dying, the bill is staggering.

These days, death is a lucrative business, with cremations ranging from $1,500 to $3,000. The costs can be higher if you have any special requests. It used to be that cremation was the least expensive method to handle the last wishes of a deceased, but no longer. Burial will cost even more, as it includes the cost of a plot (expensive enough on its own), a casket, the opening of the grave, reinforcing the walls to receive the casket, the funeral itself and the grave closing. If you want a headstone, that is even more.

Surely, the funeral costs can’t be that high? Unfortunately, they are, and just a few examples include the payment up to $500 to open the grave site, at least $1,000 to prepare a vault and anywhere from $500 to $5,000 for a headstone. The casket itself is perhaps the most expensive item your family would deal with, even if it did happen to be cardboard, which is an option nowadays. Generally speaking, people choose metal and that may range up to $2,000 and more.

Don’t forget there are also the funeral home fees. Those range from embalming to storing the body to getting burial permits and issuing death certificates. This may run around $1,500 or more. Often, if you are quoted on what a funeral may cost, if you speak to two different people, you get two different quotes. Pay attention to what you are told.

If you have flowers, music, a minister, transport and any other special services, add these things to your costs as well. As you can see, there’s a good reason why people buy term life insurance to cover their funeral expenses. The sad thing is that when someone dies, stress is high, emotions are high and anxiety surrounding how to pay for the expenses runs rampant. This is why you would want to take care of that stress for your family and make sure you have a term life insurance policy.

Got questions? Ask an expert term life insurance agent or broker for answers. It will be the best call you ever made.

Life insurance policies require policy holders to pay monthly premiums over decades and decades. With all of that money being invested into your policy, you want to be sure your beneficiaries are getting as much money as possible.

One of the ways to get the most bang for your life insurance policy buck is to set up a life insurance trust. Under normal circumstances, if a policy holder dies, the payout will be subject to estate taxes. But such taxation can be avoided if the policy holder transfers ownership of the policy to a life insurance trust. Depending on the particular policy, this could save beneficiaries tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

More Specifics on Life Insurance Trusts

While Life Insurance Trusts offer the advantage of avoiding estate taxes, they do carry less flexibility.

-For example, when you set up a Life Insurance Trust, you cannot change the beneficiary of the policy because the trust will become the beneficiary. The insured cannot be the trustee of his own Life Insurance Trust, although the insured will designate the beneficiaries of the trust.

-Another drawback for some is that you can’t borrow against the policy any longer. If you do, then you go back to being deemed the owner of the policy for estate tax purposes.

-If you wish to set up a Life Insurance Trust, you will also have to find or hire a trustee to oversee the trust. Banks and trust companies are good options.

-Also, Life Insurance Trusts are irrevocable. That means that once you set up and fund the trust, you will not have the ability to get the policy back.

-There are limits on when you set up a Life Insurance Trust, too. You cannot transfer an existing policy to the trust unless you live for three more years. If the insured dies within those three years, estate taxation will kick in. If the insured dies after that three-year period, he or she will be taxed not on the entire face value of the policy but will be deemed to have made a taxable gift in the amount of the cash value of the policy.

There are many things to consider when setting up a Life Insurance Trust, but many people find the difficulties to be well worth the benefit of knowing that 100 percent of the policy will be going to the beneficiaries.

If you are thinking of setting up a Life Insurance Trust, you should speak with life insurance and financial experts.

Your alma mater helped propel you to where you are today. Your church offered guidance when you most needed it. Thanking them by donating all or part of your life insurance may be a wise way to gain a tax deduction.

There are many reasons one would choose to give this way. A gift of a paid-up policy can provide tremendous benefits to the institution, be it a church, university or other not-for-profit.

Typical donors have outgrown the need for insurance protection, have paid the policy for several years, want to ensure the completion of a significant gift and use this gift of life insurance as part of a comprehensive financial plan.

“Before you consider donating your life insurance, be sure to confirm the donation is even possible,” said Mark Lublin of Life Insurance 2.0. “First, you should ensure that the organization is a bona fide nonprofit—that it’s a 501(c)(3) organization. Ask for certification.”

Then ask someone at the organization if they will accept the life insurance as a gift. Some charities find insurance policies are more trouble than they’re worth. So double-check.

It is possible to receive a tax deduction from the gift, but the receiving non-profit has to be both the owner and the beneficiary of the life insurance policy. The Internal Revenue Service will not allow you to subtract the cash value of your policy from your taxes if you name the charity as the beneficiary but not the owner.

Third, decide whether you want to donate a term or whole life policy. Term life insurance policies do not cost as much, but they are also less enticing to charities because when the term expires on them, they are essentially useless. Whole life policies cost more, but they have a cash value that builds up the longer that premiums are being paid on them.

“There are plenty of advantages of naming a charity as the owner, beneficiary, and premium payer of a life insurance policy,” Lublin said.

It is important to mention that for a tax deduction you may not ultimately be able to claim the entire market value of a life insurance policy given to a non-profit. In fact, it is only meant to be understood as a starting point.

With American families on tight budgets and unemployment numbers at an all-time high, it seems like a no-brainer to ensure that the breadwinners of the household have proper life insurance. Surprisingly, the number of people living without life insurance is on the rise.

According to recent survey by Life Insurance Market Research Association, an insurance industry think-tank and research group, 30 percent of U.S. households don’t have coverage, compared with 22 percent just six years ago. Even more alarming is that among the households that don’t have coverage, 11 million are families with children under the age of 18.

“Despite today’s economic challenges, it is important that families think about the fact that forgoing life insurance can be a dangerous decision,” said Mark Lublin of Life Insurance 2.0. “Life insurance can bring much-needed peace of mind.”

Many surveyed by LIMRA said they felt that the life insurance coverage offered through their employer is enough to meet their needs. Yet in the past year, someone became unemployed in 15 percent of all U.S. households.

There are several reasons for the upswing in the number of people living without life insurance. However, LIMRA found that the drop in life insurance ownership is not because families feel safe. Among households with children under 18, four in 10 say they would have immediate trouble meeting everyday living expenses if the primary breadwinner died today.

Obviously, the economy and stricter household budgets have contributed to their risky decisions to forgo life insurance. These consumers may not be aware that life insurance products are cheaper than ever.

The cost of term life policies, which provide coverage for a specific period, have dropped because people are living longer and insurers are using technology to lower their administrative costs.

A new poll of 30 leading life insurance companies conducted by Life Quotes, Inc., has found that life insurance rates remain at all-time lows.

“With life insurance rates at such favorable levels, now is actually a great time to purchase a policy,” Lublin said.

While some people believe that life insurance isn’t a necessity, having a life insurance policy is imperative for those who are the main providers for dependents. With the money from a policy, families can go on with their lives without facing a grim financial future.

As tragedies can occur without notice, life insurance should be secured so that loved ones will not have to face financial ruin as well as an emotional loss. Dealing with the death of a loved one can be emotionally taxing and families should be able to mourn the loss of loved ones without having to worry about paying the bills.

Life insurance is one of the most effective tools for dealing with lost income, as it can deliver a designated amount of money, which is usually free from income-tax, to a family at the time they need it the most. Life insurance is particularly important for those who have children that will need to be provided for. A person’s death can dramatically change the ability of the surviving spouse to pay for rent, save for children’s college funds, and to maintain the family’s standard of living. In addition, a surviving spouse or partner may need to work less in order to take care of the children or may need to secure child care, and this can be costly. Families who consider these issues and obtain a life insurance policy will be prepared to deal with the death of a provider. While it might be tough to assess how a tragedy might change the lives of an individual’s loved ones, it would be even tougher for those loved ones to face financial hardship on top of their loss.

Even those who think they are in perfect health and too young to think about the need for life insurance, it is never too early for those who act as providers for other people. Family members who rely on a provider’s salary for food, clothing and shelter will still need these things even in the event of something tragic.

Although securing life insurance can seem like a scary prospect because it highlights one’s mortality, it should also provide a sense of comfort. Individuals can rest assured that if something unfortunate were to occur, their families would be protected and provided for. Deciding on the right life insurance policy for one’s circumstances can be tricky, and individuals should give careful thought to how they can best protect their dependents.

Life insurance premiums are often affected by a person’s lifestyle choices. By making the right lifestyle choices, you can take control of your life and keep your insurance premiums low.

There are a great number of health aspects that can affect your ability to qualify for term life insurance, and these same aspects can have a profound effect on your rates. If you do not have a clear understanding of how these aspects of health can affect your life insurance premium, you may have a hard time figuring out why your rates may be higher than comparable policies for healthier people. It is important to understand how alcohol, smoking and weight can all affect term insurance and how they affect premium rates.

Alcohol consumption can have an effect on your insurance premiums. While many people may think it is impossible for an insurance company to judge their alcohol consumption, they have several ways to assess an individual’s relationship with alcohol other than by reviewing the health questionnaire. As many companies require a physical, they will use the information gathered during the process to assess your alcohol consumption. Another way that insurance companies look for unhealthy levels of alcohol consumption is through the individual’s driving record. If you have any alcohol related incidents on your record, most life insurance companies will see you as an elevated risk and will most likely adjust your premium for a policy as needed to reflect that liability.

Smoking habits can also have a great effect on your insurance premiums. To accurately assess your smoking habits, the insurance company will likely require a questionnaire as well as a physical exam. The medical evaluation will be the easiest way for companies to uncover your smoking habits, as smoking leaves behind numerous chemicals in your body. During the physical, companies look specifically for these chemicals and will use this information to determine how much of a risk you are.

Being overweight or underweight may cause you to see some form of increase in your life insurance premiums. Term life insurance premiums are affected by weight because of the health-related ramifications. If you are underweight or overweight, then you are potentially putting yourself into a health risk situation. The amount of deaths caused by obesity is rising and life insurance companies do not want to take risks on those who are obese. Maintaining a healthy weight can help keep your rates down, but straying too far away from that healthy size can cost you a lot.

By controlling these lifestyle habits that pose a risk to insurance companies, you can help control the amount you will pay for life insurance. You should consult an expert life insurance broker who can offer you advice on how to get the lowest premiums.

Sometimes, an individual life insurance policy doesn’t offer enough coverage to make you feel secure about your family’s future. Obtaining supplemental group life insurance coverage may be the best way for you to achieve peace of mind and secure your family’s future.

Individuals take out life insurance policies because they want to ensure that their families are protected even after their death. While most life insurance is secured with this good intention, sometimes the coverage in a single life insurance policy is not sufficient to meet all the needs of a family, especially when there are a large number of dependents and the financial commitments are high.

Fortunately, there are a number of options available to families that will increase their life insurance amounts. One of the most popular ways to get such insurance is through an employer. Most employers who offer their employees a benefits package will provide a basic amount of life insurance to all of their employees. This coverage is almost always guarantee issue that does not require any medical information. The employer may decide on a flat amount for all employees and may offer an amount that is equal to one times the employee’s yearly salary. While most employer-provided group life insurance does not cover more than one year’s salary, some policies may allow you to multiply that coverage at your own cost. You could, for example, choose to purchase additional life insurance that is three or four times your yearly salary. By obtaining the supplemental group life insurance your employer offers, you can provide extra financial security to your family.

The great benefit of securing supplemental coverage through a group life insurance policy is that you are likely to pay a lot less in premiums for the policy than you would if you purchased an additional individual life insurance policy or increased your coverage on an existing one. The premiums are substantially lower because the life insurance company is writing a single policy for a large group of people.

It is important to remember that group life insurance is not meant to provide for your family on its own. It is meant to supplement life insurance policies you already have. A group plan is simply a great way to supplement any individual policies you may have separate from your employer. If your employer gives you the opportunity to increase your group life insurance amount, you’ll want to carefully consider the cost as well as what coverage you already have before making a final choice.

Many people believe that life insurance is not necessary for singles; however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Singles may have substantial financial responsibilities that require a life insurance policy.

If you’re like many single men and women, part of a group that represents nearly 40 percent of America’s population, you may feel that you have little need for life insurance. After all, if you have no spouse to protect in the event of your premature death, you are not likely to have many financial obligations. While this may be true for some, many singles need and would greatly benefit from securing life insurance policies.

Just because you are single, does not mean that you are alone and do not have people who depend on you. Your death would likely have a profound financial effect on your family members and having life insurance can help reduce this impact. If you are a young adult, you may have accumulated student loans that will need to be paid off after your death. In these days, many education loans are taken out in the names of other family members, and parents are generally the co-signers. Under law, a co-signer would be fully obligated to pay 100 percent of a debt if the other signer is unable to do so. Obtaining a life insurance policy can help protect your family members from having to shoulder this financial burden on their own, in the event of your premature death.

When you pass away, there will be final expenses that must be taken care of. Sometimes these expenses can cost thousands of dollars. These obligations could fall on your parents and other loved ones and cause them undue stress. Securing a life insurance policy now can take this pressure off of your loved ones.

If you are a single parent, you should also make sure that you secure life insurance. As the sole breadwinner in your household, you are responsible for the support and care of your children. If something happened to you, other family members may step in to help, but this may place a significant financial burden on them. As a single parent, you already know the cost of maintaining your children’s standard of living, and when you die your income will die with you. A life insurance policy can ensure that your children will be provided for in your absence.

An expert life insurance broker can discuss your options with you and help you choose a policy that will provide an adequate amount of coverage.

Changes in the economy have caused some consumers to lose confidence in their life insurance providers. When considering finding a new policy, applicants should carefully consider their needs before exploring other life insurance options.

In today’s troubled economy, high-risk investment strategies have threatened the financial stability of some life insurance companies and thus the safety of policy benefits. As a result, many policyholders may be concerned with the company’s ability to pay out benefits. This nervousness may be enough to get them to choose another life insurance provider that can provide more stability and better coverage.

Another important reason that people lose confidence in their existing insurer is because their needs may change, and they may not feel that their existing insurer will be able to provide them with affordable options for increased coverage. Just be advised that any change in your personal circumstances since you first acquired life insurance may require a different strategy than the one originally pursued and getting increased coverage at an affordable price is not guaranteed.

When considering policy replacement, you may also wish to explore the possibility of amending or converting your current policy to a newer product within the same insurance company you have now without any loss of rights or accumulated cash value. If, however, you have already made the choice to switch to another life insurance company, be sure to check out the insurer’s industry rating, as determined by an independent rating service, before committing your funds to the company. 

If you are considering replacing or changing your existing life insurance policy, you first should carefully assess your needs and determine what is in your own best interest for the long-term.  You should also consider the interests of those you are protecting and factor this into your decision. 

Deciding how much insurance you need, how long you will need it for, and which policy will provide the best coverage is crucial to your financial security and your loved ones’ future. If you’ve lost confidence in your existing life insurance policy insurer, it might be a good idea to shop around and carefully consider all of your options. An expert life insurance broker can help you find a new policy that will fit your needs.

Life insurance policies should be updated as one’s needs in life change. An annual review of life insurance policies will help ensure that policyholders have the right coverage for their needs.

Purchasing a life insurance policy is not something one should do quickly without considering all of the options. Those who are interested in purchasing policies need to take time and review their needs as well as the needs of their family members. Oftentimes, many people prefer not to think about life insurance at all, as it forces them to consider an unpleasant subject. They only do so when they have had a recent brush with death. Waiting to buy life insurance until a critical moment can be costly for families, and individuals should consider buying a life insurance policy as soon as possible. Doing so will help secure their families continued survival and prosperity.

Life insurance policies should not be static documents; instead, these documents should change as the needs of one’s life changes. As such, life insurance policies should be reviewed at least once a year, so that they will accurately reflect the policyholder’s needs. In order to properly assess their needs, individuals should consider the following questions when reviewing their policies:
Should life insurance be purchased to pay for funeral expenses or should funeral expenses be paid from accumulated cash? Funeral expenses can often run in the thousands and not all families may be able to pay these sums out-of-pocket. A life insurance policy could help families cover these expenses and alleviate the financial burdens associated with one’s passing.

Should a policy be taken out to cover estate taxes? Although the estate tax has been repealed for 2010, this is likely to change in 2011 if Congress takes no further action. As such, the estate tax in 2011 could be costly for some families, and they may require a life insurance policy to help cover their estate taxes.

Should insurance be purchased to leave a lump sum for family members? If so, how much should be left? While some beneficiaries may be able to handle large sums of money, others may find doing so difficult and may need to have the life insurance distributed as income. If the policyholder chooses to provide income, should this income be for the beneficiary’s lifetime or should it be for a set number of years?

Having insufficient life insurance can have devastating effects on a family. Asking these questions when reviewing one’s life insurance policy or when purchasing a new one will help individuals decide what kind and how much coverage is right for them.

When your life changes, so does your need for life insurance. As you experience these changes, you should carefully evaluate your financial needs and find policies that work for you.

When you are young, single and on your own, you may not even consider purchasing life insurance. This is because life insurance is generally designed to provide income and security to those who are financially tied to the insured, such as children or a spouse. However, there are several reasons why you might consider a life insurance policy while young and single. For one, life insurance premiums are likely to be low when you are young and in good health. Also, you may have dependent parents you wish to provide for and obtaining a life insurance policy when you are young will offer them security.

After you get married, you will want to plan for your family’s continued security. It’s a good idea to secure life insurance at this point because you are now financially tied to someone else, and your death may have significant impact on his or her security. You and your spouse will need to decide what the right amount of coverage is and whether or not you wish to purchase whole life insurance or term life insurance.

Once you start a family, you will need to consider purchasing additional coverage that takes into account all of the expenses associated with raising a child. Raising a child can be expensive, and you should consider things such as the cost of college tuition when deciding on how much coverage to add to your policy. You may even wish to consider purchasing a small life insurance policy for the new addition to your family. This can give you extra piece of mind in case of a tragic event.

After your kids grow up and move out of the house, you may have different life insurance needs. You will no longer have to worry about providing for their college education and may wish to pursue a policy that has less coverage. You will, however, still need to retain life insurance to provide for your spouse and may even choose to keep the policy you had, so that you can use the benefits in your estate plan.

Once you reach retirement age, your life insurance needs are likely to change once more. You may just need to secure enough coverage to ensure that your spouse will be financially stable and to cover any remaining debts you might have. A larger amount might be necessary if you plan to leave this money to your adult children, or if you want to use it to help with your estate taxes.

As you go through the different phases of your life, your life insurance needs are likely to change. An expert life insurance broker can help you decide what kind of coverage is right for you right now.

Getting married is sure to be one of the happiest and most memorable moments in a couple’s lifetime. Marriage is a significant life change and will require couples to reconsider their life insurance policies.

When couples get married, one or both of them may already have an existing life insurance policy. If this is the case, you and your spouse should contact your insurance company immediately to inform them of your new status and to change your beneficiary. It is often the case that couples have existing policies through their employers. If this is the case, you may wish to speak with your company about what options are available now that you are married. Most group life insurance amounts are adequate if you are single, but they may not be able to cover your needs as a family. Also, these policies will not go with you if you change jobs, and this could jeopardize your family’s future.

If you have secured your own life insurance before getting married, most life insurance companies will allow you to add your spouse to your existing policy. Doing so is a good idea for families, as it ensures that the family is covered if either spouse passes away. Also, if both parents are included on the policy, it guarantees that any children will be well taken care of in the event that both parents pass away.

If you and your spouse did not have coverage at all before you got married, your change in status could actually help you find a low rate for you and your spouse. You and your spouse can plan for your future together and determine what kind of policy you need, and the amount necessary to secure your future. Young couples can often get better quotes than singles or older couples and should take advantage of this as soon as possible after getting married.

There are a variety of life insurance options open to newly married couples. Couples should consider their options by comparing policies and rates or consulting with a licensed insurance agent who can help give married couples the peace of mind they deserve.

Disclosing your medical history and background information is a must when applying for a life insurance policy. Make sure that you provide your full history in as much detail as possible.

When applying for life insurance, your medical history and background will be of great importance to the insurance company. Depending on your age, you may have to complete a paramedical exam or a full medical exam. Regardless of whether this exam is required, you will first have to complete an application that asks for your full medical history and background information on your lifestyle.

Life insurance underwriters will take family history into account when considering whether or not to offer insurance to an applicant. Much of their concern will be with inherited diseases, like heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancers, that pose a significant risk to the applicant’s health. The appearance of certain conditions in one’s immediate family (parents and siblings) can suggest a higher likelihood of the applicant contracting the disease. Therefore, it is imperative that you fully disclose all information about your family’s medical history, so that the underwriters can get an accurate picture of your health risks.

You will be required to provide information regarding your personal lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking, and these answers may affect your application for life insurance. The rational behind this is that unhealthy habits take a toll on your life. Most life insurance providers will ask about the amount that applicants smoke. The more you smoke, the greater your chances that you will be required to pay a higher premium.

Weight is something that you will also be required to disclose and will be considered in your application. You may be asked about not only your weight but also your eating and exercise habits. The increasing prevalence of obesity and its direct effect on other medical conditions means life insurance providers are now more likely to consider overweight people a greater life insurance risk and prone to higher premiums.

There are life insurance plans for those who may be considered too high risk to qualify for a standard life insurance policy. The coverage for these policies is usually smaller with limited benefits and the premiums may be higher.

While it may be tempting to lie about your health issues or lifestyle choices, it’s important to tell the truth when applying for life insurance. If the company discovers that you lied about a health condition or lifestyle choice, it can increase your premium rates, cause your policy to be cancelled, and even cause the beneficiary’s claim to the death benefit to be denied.

In a very unusual move for the U.S. life insurance industry, there’s a newcomer on the block with the best in class tools, technology and service, and the way to buy life insurance online.

In what is considered to be a very innovative move, Life Insurance 2.0 has hit the Internet with a very different way to do the business of buying life insurance. “We have taken the concept of buying life insurance as being a pain and turned it into something very creative and interactive,” said Mark Lublin, President of Life Insurance 2.0. Lublin isn’t kidding. The Life Insurance 2.0 website is one of the first to offer consumers “everything from soup to nuts,” and then some.

Life Insurance 2.0 not only offers convenience, but also the ability for people to compare life insurance companies, financial ratings, products and pricing for virtually all life insurance companies in one location on the site. “The site is comprehensive and robust offering complete transparency, plus offering all the quotes anyone could need all in one location,” added Lublin. This is something the Internet has never seen before – a complete quoting engine that offers quotes for virtually all insurance companies in the marketplace. Lublin acts as the broker for online life insurance. Think about that for a minute –quotes from virtually all insurance companies online. “There won’t be anything missed when a customer wants to buy life insurance on the Life Insurance 2.0 site,” Lublin pointed out.

There is no sales pitch to be seen on this site, no pushy insurance salesmen and no biased recommendations. What visitors to Life Insurance 2.0 see online is what a consumer gets in the final analysis – simple, straightforward, honest, complete and clear quotes for every company. This is a new way to purchase life insurance, and one that allows people to make a truly informed decision about what type of life insurance will suit them.

“People still have the option to talk with the broker; we actually recommend having that brief conversation to be sure all bases are covered,” said Lublin, “People can call in or e-mail at anytime and a licensed representative will be available to discuss any questions or issues they may have about the various options they are considering.”

“On Life Insurance 2.0 people can even find the financial ratings of an insurance company, something that indicates the stability of the company and their ability to pay out on a claim. Only deal with highly rated and stable insurance companies,” commented Lublin.

The days of working with the typical life insurance salesman are coming to an end. Life Insurance 2.0 offers expert level service and support online, and is run by a knowledgeable and experienced broker who understands companies, products, pricing and the marketplace he represents. “Our website is pro-consumer and offers complete services for the intelligent buyer. Our list of products is comprehensive and people don’t just “shop” onsite, they actually have the ability to “buy” online as well,” explained Mark Lublin, President of Life Insurance 2.0.

When in doubt about where to buy life insurance and to avoid getting ripped off, check the financial ratings of the insurance company.

It’s not hard to find the ratings of a life insurance company; just look them up on the Internet. “Ratings will give an indication of the company’s ability to pay claims in the event of an actual loss. Those ratings reveal the financial viability of the company and give you a good idea of how reliable the company would be during any transactions” said Mark Lublin, President of Life Insurance 2.0.

There are three main rating agencies that provide insurance company ratings; they include A.M. Best, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s. Ratings are not a difficult system to figure out, as they use letter grades to reflect the financial strength and stability of the insurance companies. “Put another way, having a rating of at least an A would be considered a good grade, and so on down the line,” added Lublin.

It should go without saying that when trying to select an insurance company, only stick with companies that have “A” ratings. In most instances those are the companies that have demonstrated stability over the years. Choosing one rated “A” means the confidence of knowing they will pay out on any claims made in the future.

Checking ratings isn’t the only way to take the pulse of an insurance company. There are other methods of checking a company’s strength as well. Hit the Internet and locate all the public information on the web. Granted much of this may be supplied by the company and may not have what you want to know, but it’s a place to start.

Another method to find out about the company is to ask an insurance broker about their reliability. “This word of mouth method is often even more valuable than anything found online, as it gives you real life anecdotes. In addition, don’t be shy about contacting the company directly and ask them about their financial situation,” indicated Lublin.

While that might sound like a completely silly thing to do, consider this: if no one in customer service or any other employee wants to talk about how the company is doing financially, consider this to be a red flag and make decisions accordingly.

Once all the information has been gathered about a variety of insurance companies, say three to start with, it’s time to make choices. “A life insurance policy is a major life decision and a significant investment, so choose wisely after all the facts are in and analyzed,” recommended Lublin, President of Life Insurance 2.0.

Buying life insurance during the recent financial crisis seems pointless, but actually it’s never been more important, and the best time to take action is now.

For those who realize, it’s the responsible thing to do. Having life insurance in place to protect loved ones and your business is the foundation of any financial plan. Take a moment to review your “human life value” and protect your life. This isn’t meant to be a depressing reflection, but you really do need to know that if something happens to you, that your family won’t be left high and dry.

This is a tough decision to make during a recession, let alone a financial crisis, because people are tightening up their finances and trying to make do with less. The last thing many people want to spend money on is life insurance. It just adds to your expenses and you wonder if you can really do without it for now, and perhaps renew in the future when things pick up economically.

The fact of the matter is that life insurance policies don’t need to be expensive and yes, you can actually get a policy with great benefits and coverage for a very affordable rate. The key to getting what you want and can afford is to speak to a life insurance broker that values the customer and provides expert service.

When you search online for an independent life insurance broker, look for one who knows the true reality of life and pulls no punches when it comes to telling you the complete unvarnished truth about shopping for and buying life insurance policies. In other words, a person who will tell you like it is, not tell you what you want to hear. That’s important when it comes to making a complex decision like what type of life insurance will work best for you.

When you shop online for quotes, make sure you find a site that provides multiple quotes and shows you everything you need to know to decide about various policies. Once you have rates, compare them to other companies. Make a list of questions you want answered and then once you have found a comprehensive site that offers sterling service, make that phone call to the expert broker and discuss your questions and concerns.

Make sure the site you choose is reputable, legitimate and above all else credible. Look at their content, their testimonials and how the site is laid out. Find out how many companies they deal with, as this will give you an idea of just what kind of a deal they can give you. The more companies they represent, the better chance you have of getting a life insurance policy that fits you like a glove.

Researching and buying life insurance isn’t always an easy thing to do, simply because the terms and language can be confusing.

Been there, done that? Wondering what all the jargon on your life insurance policy actually means? Welcome to the wonderful world of shopping for and buying life insurance. It isn’t the easiest stuff to deal with, but if you take the time to find the right independent insurance broker, you will ultimately wind up the winner.

Let’s take Guaranteed Level Term Life Insurance. What the heck does that stand for and why should I care?When referring to level term life insurance, it mainly means the way a premium is guaranteed and set up for term life insurance. Now there’s another new word – term insurance. Term Life Insurance only gives you coverage for a defined period of time which is called a term.

Basically when your “term” comes to an end, your policy’s guaranteed premium ends as well. You should be aware that there is no cash value accrued inside of this type of policy; in other words what you are buying is pure coverage. Of course there are things that need to be explained in further detail, particularly after you have made an informed decision as to what policy will work for you.

If you have chosen Guaranteed Level Term Life Insurance, make sure to ask your independent broker all the questions you possibly can in order to thoroughly understand what your policy does for you and its terms. Before you do that though, browse top-notch online insurance websites for the best and simplest explanations.

Buying life insurance doesn’t have to be complicated and in fact, if the insurance broker is making it difficult to understand, then don’t walk away, run. You need simplicity and an explanation you can identify with when dealing with life insurance policies and their contents. You also need objective, straightforward and trustworthy answers on what your premium will be.

Typically, the premium paid for life insurance policies relates to the type and amount of coverage, and the premium goes up as you get older. However, with a Guaranteed Level Term Life Insurance policy, you pay the same amount every year, not a bad deal considering that all other types of insurance coverage premiums increase yearly. Knowing you will be paying the same amount every year is a security blanket and gives you piece of mind that your rates won’t change unexpectedly.

Level term life insurance policies are fairly popular because of the fact you pay the same thing every year. It’s a real benefit to know that you won’t get a bill in the mail for an increased premium and there you are, unable to afford the payments.

Here is another thing that many policyholders really appreciate: the guaranteed renewable feature that lets you know your policy automatically renews yearly even after the initial term expires. Will your premium rate go up if the policy expires? Most likely it will, but ask your expert insurance broker to find out.
If you aren’t sure that level term insurance is for you then ask yourself if you prefer not having to worry about premiums getting hiked up every year. This, of course, lets you plan ahead.
