Term Life Insurance is by far the least expensive form or type of life insurance that you can currently purchase. Over the last few years rates on this type of policy have drastically reduced due to better carrier efficiencies and extended mortality rates and tables. Most big time financial mavens like Dave Ramesy and Suzie Orman praise term life insurance for it’s cost effectiveness and practicality.

Now that you are ready to buy a term life policy just how do you go about it?

Start by contacting a very experienced life insurance broker or agent, look for someone who has some credential like the CLU designation. A broker is an agent who can sell multiple carriers plans and policies, an agent is typically someone who sells only for one company like New York Life or AXA. Make sure you contact a broker that sells for multiple companies this is the most important step that in getting the best quotes and rates from the carriers.

After getting at least ten separate carrier quotes you now have to start asking you agent some questions, they will now know that you have done your homework and this won’t be a rollover sale for them with the highest commission carrier!

First question to ask is which carrier’s have the best ratings, very important that when you die the company you have paid all those premiums into will now be able to pay your death claim. Don’t take this step lightly, really research the companies financials and ask a lot of questions. Get rating reports on each carrier from your broker and review with them.

Next is who might have the best underwriting for you personally? You will be disclosing some personal health information with your agent so make sure you feel comfortable with this person. If you have any major health issue’s this factor will be more important than if you are healthy and expecting to obtain Preferred rates. Most term life insurance companies have niche’s in underwriting for specific health impairments and your broker should know which is strong for each particular issue. If you have Diabetes or Heart Disease your selection will become more narrowed but that doesn’t mean you still can’t find a great, affordable plan.

Last but not least is to find out which companies have good convertible plans that you convert if you wanted or needed to due to a serious health issue. You never know when you might have a serious health issue that could affect you from getting a new term life policy after your current plan expires. If your term plan is convertible you can convert it at the attained rate class you received when you took out the term plan, but you will pay the rates at your current age. That’s okay though it still will be much cheaper than paying possibly substandard rates.

If you follow this guide you are on your way to buying the most affordable term life plan that will protect your family, mortgage or business in the even of your death. Life Insurance is so easy to procrastinate and put off buying, I have even done it myself but with rates at an all time low you need to bite the bullet and just do it!

To make it easy you use the internet to find the lowest price and at the same time it’s the easiest way to get a quote, get a policy, get insured and you’re done in the shortest amount of time possible!

One thing you’ve got to understand is that although you will not be required to take a medical exam to acquire a term life insurance policy, you will be required to answer a series of “simple” medical questions. The answers you provide to those “simple” medical questions could possibly lead to you being required to get a medical exam.

Think about it. The insurance companies would not be in business very long if they insured everybody regardless of how healthy or how unhealthy they may be. That’s why you’ll be required to answers a series of “simple” health-related questions. The insurance companies have a set of guidelines that they’ll compare your answers too. If any “red flags” show up then the insurance company will contact you requesting further information and you may be required to take a medical exam.

The reason I wanted to explain the “no exam” rules to you is to help you quickly decide whether or not you honestly feel like you can purchase adequate insurance. Ask yourself this question. If you were the insurance company would you insure you?

I know that may sound a bit confusing but the truth is if you would not insure yourself because of bad health then you can’t honestly expect the insurance companies to insure you either.

If you are unsure about whether or not you health is to bad for insurance maybe it be to your advantage to get a physical before you start looking to buy term life insurance.
