If possible, it’s a good idea to purchase life insurance when you’re healthy. Certain medical conditions like heart problems and obesity can greatly increase the amount that you will pay for insurance. If you have a high risk job or are a smoker, you may see increased rates, as well. When trying to get a policy, you should never lie about a medical condition because insurance companies always investigate claims after someone dies. If they discover that you lied on your application to get a cheaper policy, the policy may be considered invalid and the company many not have to pay benefits to your family.
