Health & underwriting
Life Insurance With Criminal record or felony history
A criminal record can raise application questions about convictions, incarceration and current supervision. A licensed agent can help interpret what is being asked without promising that a record is ignored.
Not sure which fits?
Answer a few questions and we'll point you to the right coverage.
What criminal and current legal history should you disclose?
Underwriters may request records and an accurate account of the history. The following details can help explain your circumstances; none is an approval rule.
Offense type, conviction date and sentence completion
Current incarceration, probation, parole or pending matters
Employment, financial need and any associated substance or health history
Which coverage paths can you discuss with a licensed agent?
Fully underwritten term or whole life may involve an individual legal-history review. Simplified issue does not mean legal-history-free. Guaranteed-issue final expense may be considered where enrollment rules permit, but residency and other non-medical requirements still need checking.
What should you have ready for a coverage call?
An accurate timeline and current supervision status. Consult your attorney about sealed or expunged matters and how to answer specific legal-history questions.
How do you compare coverage without assuming approval?
Family Bridge Financial is Jacksonville’s independent life insurance agency, licensed in all 50 states and serving by phone and virtual appointment. We compare available options without invented prices or approval odds. State, age, residency, consent and other eligibility requirements still apply. A guaranteed-issue product generally avoids health questions but can have limited early benefits for certain deaths; confirm the actual schedule and exclusions. Never change medical treatment for insurance or cancel existing coverage before any replacement is approved and in force.
