Customer Reviews

"James treated me like a real person and not just a number to process. In my experience, this is in stark contrast to other agencies dealing with insurance.

He followed up immediately from day 1 of my first inquiry. He was fully knowledgeable about how to navigate the waters of qualifying for life insurance.

His customer service was the best I have EVER experienced. But most importantly he treated my application with respect and compassion.

I would recommend his services to anyone regardless of their background or health history. James you are the best!

"

      Jim Tobin and the Bequest Mutual team saved me almost $100 a month by switching my 20 year term life insurance policy from one of the mutual companies that advertises on television all the time.

The previous carrier had rated my health lower than the nationally known company that Jim submitted my application to, and to my pleasant surprise, he was right.  I couldn't be  happier with the service received or the final result. "

  Life Insurance Approved With Existing Health Conditions?

Life Insurance carriers will entertain applications from people with all sorts of health impairments. Approval, and the health class approved at, will be determined by your complete health and lifestyle profile. The insurer's underwriting group will investigate any prescriptions you have been written, medical records from your physician, the results from a  paramedical exam, your motor vehicle records and your financial condition.

The Best term Life Insurance companies

For some things like customer service or product offerings, it's not too difficult to make comparisons. However, in many cases, the answer is that it truly depends on the individual application. While this is not the narrow answer that you may be looking for, it is the reality. 

Because different carriers have different appetites for the risks that they want to cover, and these appetites are expressed by the health rating they assign you,  it will depend on your health and any specific health condition you face. For these reasons, this site has compared both pricing and condition specific underwriting for several top carriers. You can read reviews of specific carriers here.
