Hi Glenda,
Thanks for the note. Based on the information you shared if you have not been declined for insurance in the last 2 years you should qualify for Assumption Life Golden Protection coverage.
I will send you a seperate email shortly. Regards … Lorne
Hi, Lorne:
I am looking for non-medical term (10 or 20 years) life insurance with affordable premiums for my husband, who is 69. His only health complaint is hypertension, controlled by medication. We have never been declined life insurance. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for the note.
You’re husband would be better off with a traditional life insurance if his only health issue is controlled high blood pressure. Term 20 plans would not be available in his age bracket.
The rates would also be dependent on his smoking status.
Regards … Lorne
I am looking for non medical term life insurance
for myself & my husbad. I am 39 and smoke but no illness. My husband is 45 with some medical issues (on meds) and he is a smoker.
Can you tell me what you have available?
Regards,Veronica
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for the note if you have no health issues you would be better off with a traditional life insurance (health questions and possible medical tests). The rates are lower.
For your husband depending on his health issues he may qualify for a simplified issue plan (3 to 12 health questions and no medical tests)
Guaranteed issue coverage (no health questions and no medical tests) is the most expensive type of coverage and should be your last option.
Regards … Lorne
