Q: I applied online for $250,000 life insurance but was declined because I have not take a mortgage loan within the past two years.
A: The Guaranteed Trust Life Insurance Company issues coverage without medical records up to $100,000 for most people and increases the allowance up to $250,000 for those who have taken a mortgage within the past two years. For this reason, this product is a popular and easy way to buy mortgage protection insurance. In fact, this life insurance product was primarily developed for use in the mortgage insurance industry. In your case, coverage up to $150,000 is available without a new mortgage - just reapply online for any amount up to $150,000 coverage and in most cases within a few days. Higher amounts of insurance coverage are available by providing medical evidence (usually collected by a paramedic though an exam and blood test paid for by the life insurance company) but this is a slower process so coverage cannot be immediately issued online.
