The application process

First up, let's look at the application itself, the form that you'll be filling out when applying for your life insurance policy.

Different insurers use different questions to begin judging the risk they'll be taking by insuring you, but some general rules always apply. Take a look.

Riders, clauses, and exlusions

Riders are "documents" that are often attached to a policy which modify that policy somewhat from what is normally offered by the company.

Clauses and exclusions are stipulations which are used by insurance companies to clearly states certain right that you might have, as well as rights that the insurance company itself has the ability to invoke.
