Questions and Answers on Life Insurance: The Life Insurance Toolbook

"Questions and Answers on Life Insurance" is an excellent resource for anyone who is buying or has bought either "whole" or term life insurance. It is also a good reference for life insurance salespersons, financial planners, or those just interested in learning more about life insurance. The book answers questions regarding what type of policy is appropriate, how to deal with an insurance salesperson, what to expect in the underwriting process, and what steps one should take after buying life insurance. The book also contains many useful web site references and some sage advice relevant to life insurance and general financial planning. The question and answer format quickly directs the reader to a specific area of interest. The index and glossary are particularly complete. Mr. Steuer should be complemented on his thorough and interesting book.

Overall, if you have the slightest desire to know more about life insurance, I highly recommend this book
