There are many companies that offer life insurance and countless salespeople and brokers anxious to sell an insurance policy. You should buy your Life Insurance from a company that is reliable, financially stable, and reputable. You can find a policy yourself online or through an agent or advisor.

There is a lot of money on the line, so companies should do thorough underwriting for your health and background that will require a blood test and full background check that you should be prepared for.

Any company that does not seem diligent on the front end will probably make it hard for your beneficiaries to get paid if you die, since they will probably have an unfavorable mortality experience.

Bear in mind that unlike other types of bargain shopping, you need to be able to count on this company still being around and going strong in 20, 30 or even 40 or 50 years.
