Question: #3: Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
Let's say that you get life insurance and claim to be a non-smoker. Then let's say that you start smoking or resume smoking. Assuming that your medical records show that you smoked, will most life insurance companies check your records, see that you smoked, and then cancel your benefit?

Question: #4: What type of life insurance do you have and why you have it?
I used to own whole life insurance until I learned the hard way about the truth behind it. A life agent said cash value was a great way to build savings for retirement and that I can use it anytime. That sounded pretty great and so me and my husband bought it. About 28 years later, he died in an accident. The life insurance paid the death claim about 30 days after I filed a claim. But all the cash value was gone! With the cash value, I could of used it for my retirement.So now I got rid of my whole life and paid a surrender charge on the cash value. The mortgage is paid off and no one is dependant on my income anymore. So I don't need life insurance. I moved about $45,000 of cash value into various investments.All I have to say to people buying life insurance is do your own research about life insurance before listening to life insurance agents.

Question: #5: What is the difference between accidental death life insurance and regular life insurance?
What is the difference between accidental death insurance and regular life insurance? Which is a better buy? Wouldn't all deaths (excluding illnesses) be accident?

Thanks!!!(I know its different for every insurance company, I am just wondering what generally the outcomes would be)

Question: #6: How can my friend find out if her late father has a life insurance policy?
My friend's father died recently. Twenty years ago, her father took out a small life insurance policy to pay for his funeral expenses. The beneficiary is my friend's stepmother. The stepmother doesn't even recall a life insurance policy. She wonders if he had cashed it out. How can my friend find out if a life insurance policy still exists? Those unclaimed fund sites don't usually include life insurance policies, and the life insurance company may not know that a death has occurred.

Question: #9: What kind of life insurance do we need? and what is a good company to buy from?
My husband and I are 28 years old, have three children and plan to have one more child in the near future. We live in Virginia (DC area). His annual earnings are about $70k; I also work part time earning annually about $35k. We currently have life insurance through our employers, but we want to get policies on our own. Can anyone recommend a good company to go with and a type of policy that we should get?Also, should we get life insurance on our children? if so, what kind?The goal that I want to accomplish with the life insurance is this. If my husband or I was to die, I would want my children to continue the same financial life that they would have had with both parents living. For this I am calculating that we need about a $2 million policy. After our children are grown, I would like for us to have a lower policy; just enough to cover the cost of bills and a little something to help the kids, I am thinking something around 200k.

Question: #23: What is the life of an insurance saleman like?
I wanted to join a "company" World Finance Group, part of AEGON. They say they will train me about life insurance and difference securities and how to recruit more employees and customers. So far the membership fees and background check is $100 ! They dont want to reveal how much of this100 goes to membership and how much goes to background check! So far I understand that they customer that I would have would be the people I know. I will use their offices at "any local representatives", I will have to services the accounts of my customers, have them to choose the right investment, mostly life insurrance. Sound an interesting job. I learn business anyway. BUT this whole thing looks more like a scamp or not suitable for me at all! Pay for a membership and then go out and look for customer on my own. They dont reveal to me the average income of their employees, they dont really revea to me how much time and effort one should pay, and whether they would get any customer at all!by the way the website is WorldFinanceGroup.com
