Can You Get Life Insurance With A Felony? 
Yes , you can . And you do not have to settle for simplified issue policies with small face amounts . If you need several hundred thousand or several million dollars worth of coverage for your family or business , it could be done . I have done it . I have three cases for my files to share with you . One was a gentleman who was arrested for assaulting a police officer . It had to do with the officer breaking up a fight and accidentally getting hurt . The police department really went after my guy and forced him to serve time even though he did not cause the injury . I actually got the approval for coverage the day before he started his sentence . Another was a client who worked as a pharmacist . He unfortunately started taking some of the narcotic drugs he was distributing . He then became addicted to them and stole them . He was caught , served time , and then put on probation . The day after probation ended , he submitted his application . Approved as quoted . In another case , my client served time due to wire fraud . He was actually still on probation when he applied for coverage . Of course , I had prequalified him before submitting a formal application , so I had confirmed he was eligible for coverage . He was also approved as quoted . The fact of the matter is that criminal record is factored into underwriting , but an answer of yes on the application doesnt have to be a dealbreaker . There are companies that will work with you under certain circumstances . The broker has to know how to work with them . There is hope .
