I don’t really understand what underwriting is, let alone accelerated underwriting. I looked it up and read a couple articles from Google, but still don’t understand it. I know it has something to do with risk. I remember when my mother was in her 80s, I had to look around for quite a while to find a policy that would still cover her. She was going to be dropped by her old one. Actually with my mother as I recall it was an annuity not life insurance. So that may be different.
Remember I come from a life insurance background, underwriting specialist at your service.
